Reproduction 
TypesHolotype: LSUHC 14353, Adult male, collected on 24 July 2018 at 2030 hrs by Evan S.H. Quah. (Fig. 4A in Quah et al. 2019).
Paratypes (Fig. 4B & C). Adult male, LSUHC 14354 and sub-adult female, LSUHC 14355 bear the same col- lection data as the holotype. 
DiagnosisDiagnosis: Cyrtodactylus dayangbuntingensis sp. nov. can be differentiated from all other species of Cyrto- dactylus by having a combination of the following characters: maximum SVL of approximately 99.00 mm; 12–14 supralabials; 10–11 infralabials; weak tuberculation on body; no tubercles on ventral surface of forelimbs, gular region, ventrolateral body folds, or anterior one-third of tail; 35 or 36 paravertebral tubercles; 20–22 longitudinal dorsal tubercle rows; 36–39 ventral scales; 21–23 subdigital lamellae on fourth toe; 26–29 femoroprecloacal pores; deep precloacal groove in males; up to three rows of small to medium-sized postcloacal (hemipenial) tubercles with a (1–3 + 2–4 + 2–4) range of tubercles per row; four dark dorsal body bands; body bands slightly narrower than interspaces; no rostral chevron; body bands and nuchal loop edged by a broken, thin white or yellow line formed by a single row of tubercles; scattered white tubercles present on dorsum; no banding on base of thigh; up to ap- proximately 13 dark caudal bands on original tail; white caudal bands infused with dark pigmentation in adults; and hatchlings and juveniles bearing white tail tips. These characters are scored across all species of the C. pulchellus complex in Table 7 in Quah et al. 2019.
