| Diagnosis | Diagnosis. Cyrtodactylus macrotuberculatus is distinguished from all other Sunda Shelf species by having a maximum SVL of 120 mm; very large, trihedral, keeled, tubercles on body, limbs, and tail; tubercles present on occiput and top of head; no granular scales (only large tubercles) on dorsal surfaces of limbs; 19–22 ventral scales; transversely enlarged, median, subcaudal scales; proximal subdigital lamellae square; 21–23 subdigital lamellae on fourth toe; abrupt transition between posterior and ventral femoral scales; enlarged femoral and precloacal scales with a continuous series of 35–37 pore-bearing scales (femoero-precloacal scales); precloacal groove present, precloacal depression absent; no white recticulum on head; body and tail banded, limbs immaculate. The majority of these characters are summarized across all Sunda Shelf species in Table 1 in GRISMER & AHMAD 2008. Diagnosis.—Adult males reaching 118.6 mm SVL, adult females reaching 113.4 mm SVL; 9–12 supralabials, 7–11 infralabials; tubercles of dorsum very large with no intervening smaller tubercles; tubercles on ventral surfaces of forelimbs, in gular region, and in ventrolateral body fold; 31–44 paravertebral tubercles; 19–27 longitudinal rows of dorsal tubercles; 17–28 rows of ventral scales; 20–24 subdigital lamellae on fourth toe; 28–40 femoro-precloacal pores in males; dorsum not bearing a scattered pattern of white tubercles; four body bands in adults lacking lightened centers and light colored tubercles; band to interspace ratio 1.00–1.50; 7–10 dark, caudal bands on original tail; white caudal bands in adults infused with dark pigment; and posterior portion of tail in hatchlings and juveniles banded not white. These characters are scored across all species of the Cyrtodactylus pulchellus complex in Table 6 [from GRISMER et al. 2012]. |
