Diagnosis | Diagnosis: 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. Unfortunately we had to temporarily remove additional information as this was scraped by multiple AI companies who sell that data to their customers. These details, e.g. detailed descriptions or comparisons (about 2729 characters) are available for collaborators and contributors. Please contact us for details. |
