Diagnosis | Diagnosis. Cyrtodactylus mamberamo sp. nov. can be distinguished from all other Melanesian Cyrtodactylus by the unique combination of moderately large adult size (Svl up to at least 94 mm), throat tubercles absent, medial row of transversely enlarged subcaudal scales present on original tail, upper arm with enlarged tubercles, dorsal pattern consisting of six or more thin light-buff transverse bands with thin dark-brown anterior borders of equivalent width, regions of dorsum between bands evenly pale to medium brown, original tail with 8–11 thin pale bands typically narrower in width than maximum width of tail, and males with widely disjunct series of small precloacal (11–17) and femoral (7–17) pores on each side (30–38 in total).
