Reproduction 
TypesHolotype. NCSM 80585 adult female collected by Sengvilay Seateun and Misan Keooudone on 16 June 2012. Paratypes. FMNH 271140 adult female collected by Bryan L. Stuart, Somphouthone Phimmachak, and Niane Sivongxay on 28 May 2007 from Nakai-Nam Theun National Protected Area, Phou Ack Mountain, Boualapha District, Khammouan Province, Laos (17.64433°N, 105.73667°E, 980 m above sea level); and NUOL 00036 adult female collected by Bryan L.

DiagnosisDiagnosis: Ptychozoon kabkaebin sp. nov. differs from all other species of Ptychozoon by having the following unique combination of characters: a maximum SVL of 95.4 mm; supranasals not in contact; 8–10 supralabials; 10–12 infralabials; infra-auricular cutaneous flap; weak, supra-auricular ridge present; no dorsal or caudal tubercles; imbricate parachute support scales on dorsal surface of patagia; no prominently raised ridges on ventral surface of patagia; 78–82 midbody dorsal scales; 33–38 ventral scales; an emargination between the pre-antebrachial flap and digit I; no enlarged femoral scales; 22 or 23 enlarged precloacal scales; 5–7 rows of enlarged post-precloacal scales; 13–17 transverse subdigital lamellae on fourth toe; no enlarged dorsal caudal scales forming whorls; approximately 27–30 scales across widest portion of caudal flap; distal lobes fusing to form a short, narrow caudal flap; edges of caudal flap weakly crenulated; caudal lobes angled posteriorly; caudal lobes decrease posteriorly in size; thick, dark, postorbital stripe; four dark body bands between limb insertions; irregularly shaped, white, vertebral markings variably present; and subcaudal region banded in adults (Tables 4, 5).

CommentHabitat: large boulders in a mosaic of evergreen, deciduous, and pine forest. NCSM 80585 was collected during the day from beneath a house on stilts that was located along a stream in degraded semi-evergreen forest at 160 m in elevation. FMNH 271140 was collected during the day (1115 h) at 980 m in elevation and NUOL 00036 was collected during the night (2130 h) at 992 m in elevation, both on large boulders in a mosaic of evergreen, deciduous, and pine forest with grassy understory at the edge of a high cliff on a steep escarpment. 
EtymologyThe specific epithet kabkaebin is the Lao word used for Ptychozoon.
