Subspecies 
Common NamesE: Gua Kanthan Bent-toed Gecko
Malay: Cicak Gua Kanthan 
SynonymCyrtodactylus guakanthanensis GRISMER, BELABUT, QUAH, ONN, WOOD & HASIM 2014 
DistributionPeninsular Malaysia (Perak)

Type locality: Gua Kanthan, Perak, Peninsular Malaysia (4°45.685’N, 101°07.322’E; 45 m elevation  
Reproductionoviparous (manual imputation, fide Zimin et al. 2022) 
TypesHolotype: LSUHC 11322, adult male, collected by Daicus M. Belabut, Chan K. Onn, Evan S. H. Quah and L. Lee Grismer on 14 July 2013.
Paratypes. All paratypes (LSUHC 11321, 11323, 11325–36, 11339) bear the same data as the holotype. 
DiagnosisDiagnosis: Cyrtodactylus guakanthanensis sp. nov. can be distinguished from all other Sundaland species by having the following suite of character states: adult SVL 77.7–82.2 mm adult SVL; moderately sized, conical, weakly keeled, body tubercles; tubercles present on occiput, nape, and limbs, and extend posteriorly beyond base of tail; 37–44 ventral scales; no transversely enlarged, median, subcaudal scales; proximal subdigital lamellae transversely expanded; 19–21 subdigital lamellae on fourth toe; abrupt transition between posterior and ventral femoral scales; enlarged femoral scales; no femoral or precloacal pores; precloacal groove absent; wide, dark postorbital stripes from each eye extending posteriorly to the anterior margin of the shoulder region thence forming a transverse band across the anterior margin of the forelimbs; and body bearing five (rarely four) wide, bold, dark bands. The meristic characters are scored against C. sworderi, C. tebuensis and C. quadrivirgatus in Table 5 and against all other Sundaland species in Grismer et al. (2012b: Table 5). 
CommentAbundance: only known from its original description (Meiri et al. 2017). 
EtymologyThe specific epithet guakanthanensis is an adjective and refers to the type locality Gua Kanthan (=Kanthan Cave) within the Gunung Kanthan limestone forest.
