TypesHolotype: ITBCZ 1529, an adult male collected on 28 September 2011 by Tran Thi Anh Dao, Le Thi Thuy Duong, and Le Thi Thanh Ngan; (Fig. 5). Paratype. ITBCZ 1518, an adult female, collected on 23 September 2011. Other information same as that of the holotype. 
DiagnosisDiagnosis: Size medium, SVL 46.0–60.4 mm; body moderately elongated with two dark brown stripes or blotches on dorsum; interrupted nuchal band reaching the posterior margin of eyes; tail longer than SVL, subcaudals small, not transversely enlarged; five enlarged femoral scales; male with seven preanal pores in Λ- shaped; upper labials 9–11, lower labials 9–10; narrow subdigital lamellae on fourth toe 17–19; transverse ventral scale rows 43–47.
 
CommentCyrtodactylus phuocbinhensis sp. nov. is characterized by a series of enlarged femoral scales separated from preanal scales. C. phuocbinhensis is distinguished from other congeners by a combination of the following characters: small subcaudal scales, not transversely enlarged; presence (C. phuocbinhensis sp. nov.) or absence (C. taynguyenensis sp. nov.) of enlarged femoral scales; number of preanal pores; and dorsal pattern.

Habitat. The two geckos were collected at night on rocks and trees along streams at the elevation of 646–1136 m elevation.

Abundance: only known from its original description (Meiri et al. 2017). 
EtymologyThe specific epithet phuocbinhensis is derived from Phước Bình National Park, where the new species was collected.
