Cyrtodactylus taynguyenensis — NGUYEN et al. 2021 
DistributionVietnam (Gia Lai)

Type locality: Krong Pa Village, K’Bang District, Gia Lai Province, Vietnam, 14.3413889° N, 108.4794444° E, about 850 m elevation.  
Reproductionoviparous (manual imputation, fide Zimin et al. 2022) 
TypesHolotype: ROM 32120, an adult male collected on 22 Sept 1997 by Robert W. Murphy, Nikolai L. Orlov, Amy Lathrop, Leslie A. Lowcock, and Ho Thu Cuc; (Fig. 3). Paratypes (Fig. 3). ROM 32116–32119 and 32121–32122, 3 female and 4 male adults; ROM 32124 subadult male; collected on 19–25 Sept. 1997. Other data are the same as for the holotype. 
DiagnosisDiagnosis: Size medium, snout-vent length (SVL) 60–85 mm; body moderately robust; tail longer than SVL, subcaudals small, not transversely enlarged; enlarged femoral scales absent; males with six preanal pores arranged in “Λ” formation; upper labials 8–9; lower labials 8–9; narrow subdigital lamellae on fourth toe 17–21, ventral scales 42–49. 
CommentCyrtodactylus taynguyenensis sp. nov. does not possess enlarged femoral scales. C. taynguyenensis 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.

Abundance: only known from its original description (Meiri et al. 2017).
