| Comment | Synonymy: riyanto et al. 2020 synonymized Cyrtodactylus klakahensis with C. petani. |
| Etymology | The specific epithet petani refers to the fact that the type series was collected on a farm. Petani means a farmer in the Indonesian Language and is here treated as a noun in apposition. The specific epithet klakahensis is a Latinized, toponymic adjective referring to the type locality Klakah (Lumajang Regency, Jawa Timur Province, Java, Indonesia) of the new species. |
