DistributionS Vietnam (Ninh Thuan Province)

Type locality: Nui Chua National Park (11°42'06,5" N, 109°08'50,4" E; alt. ca. 230 m asl), Ninh Thuan Province, southern Vietnam  
Reproductionoviparous (manual imputation, fide Zimin et al. 2022) 
TypesHolotype: ZMMU R-14995 adult male. Collected by V.V. Bobrov on 11–12 Oct. 2003. Paratype. ZMMU R-11503; adult female, bearing the same locality and collecting date as the holotype. 
DiagnosisDiagnosis: Cyrtodactylus sangi sp. nov. can be distinguished from all other congeners by its small size (maximal known SVL of 56.3 mm); dorsal tubercles in 19–21 irregular rows at midbody; 37 midbody scale rows across belly between ventrolateral skin folds; presence of a continuous angular series of seven pore-bearing (male) or four pitted (female) enlarged precloacal scales, separated by a diastema of undifferentiated scales from four poreless and pitless enlarged femoral scales on each side; absence of precloacal groove; absence of transversely enlarged median subcaudal scales; and a highly irregular banded dorsal pattern. 
Comment 
EtymologyThe specific epithet honors Nguyen Ngoc Sang (Institute of Tropical Biology, Ho Chi Minh City) for his contributions to the herpetology of Vietnam and his benchmark works on taxonomy and diversity of the genus Cyrtodactylus in Vietnam (Nguyen et al. 2013, 2014).
