| Diagnosis | Diagnosis: Relatively large-sized species of Cyrtodactylus with a maximum SVL of 98 mm; the new species is distinguished from its congeners by a combination of the following morphological features. Dorsal pattern consisting of dark irregular separate spots and blotches between limbs and on the dorsal part of the head. The nuchal band is not developed, 6–8 dark wide transversal bands with irregular edges present on the dorsal surface of tail. Small smooth roundish dorsal tubercles present on the occipital region and sides of the head, body, hind limbs and the base of tail. Ventrals in 30–38 longitudinal rows at midbody. Continuous series of 58–60 precloacal and femoral pores in males, 5–6 postcloacal spurs in both sexes. Tail not segmented without whorls and keeled tubercles on its dorsal surface, one median row of transversally enlarged subcaudal scales. |
| Comment | Abundance: only known from its original description (Meiri et al. 2017). |
| Etymology | The species epithet “multiporus” is a Latin adjective in masculine, indicating the high number of precloacal and femoral pores typical for this species; derived from “multus” – “many” (Latin) and “porus” – “pore”, “canal” (Latinized Greek). |
