| Higher Taxa | Gekkonidae, Gekkota, Sauria, Squamata (lizards: geckos) |
| Subspecies | |
| Common Names | E: Phnom Laang Bent-toed Gecko |
| Synonym | Cyrtodactylus laangensis MURDOCH, GRISMER, WOOD, NEANG, POYARKOV, TRI, NAZAROV, AOWPHOL, PAUWELS, NGUYEN & GRISMER 2019: 42 |
| Distribution | Cambodia (Kampot: Phnom Laang) Type locality: Phnom Laang, Kampot Province, Cambodia (10 42’13’’N, 104 20’57’’ E). |
| Reproduction | oviparous (manual imputation, fide Zimin et al. 2022) |
| Types | Holotype: LSUHC 8773, adult male, collected on 15 December 2007 by Neang Thy, L. Lee Grismer, and Jeremy Holden. Paratypes. Adult males LSUHC 8771–72, adult females LSUHC 8770, 8774, and T 4653 bear the same collection data as the holotype. |
| Diagnosis | Diagnosis: Adult males reaching 76.9 mm SVL, adult females reaching 82.2 mm SVL; 7–9 supralabials, 10 or 11 infralabials; 29–32 paravertebral tubercles; 17 or 18 longitudinal rows of dorsal tubercles; 37–40 rows of ventral scales; seven expanded subdigital lamellae proximal to the digital inflection, 11–13 unmodified, distal, subdigital lamellae; 18–20 total subdigital lamellae on fourth toe; enlarged femoral scales either absent or separated from precloacal scales by a diastema of smaller scales; when present 13–16 enlarged femoral scales with proximal enlarged femoral scales less than half the size of distal femoral scales; 7–9 enlarged precloacal scales with pores on each in males; two or three rows of enlarged post-precloacal scales; 2–4 postcloacal tubercles; no interdigital pocketing; dark pigmented blotches on top of head present or absent; posterior border of nuchal loop rounded; and four dark body bands (summarized in Tables 7 + 13 in Murdoch et al. 2019). |
| Comment | Habitat: karst hills surrounded by highly disturbed scrub vegetation but the hill itself bears typical ultramafic vegetation on its cliff-faces. Some specimens were found crawling on both large boulders and small rocks and others were found as high as 5 m above the ground on (cave-like) chamber walls. Despite being separated by only 25km from its sister species, C. bokorensis, the two species have an uncorrected sequence divergence of 3.9% and the morphological and morphometric differences between the two species are larger than between species having greater sequence divergence (Table 4, Fig. 5 in Murdoch et al. 2019). |
| Etymology | The specific epithet, laangensis, is an adjective in reference to type locality of the karst formation Phnom Laang to which it is presumably endemic. |
