Type locality: handrail of elevated timber walkway in Kandawgyi National Gardens, Pyin Oo Lwin, Mandalay Region, Myanmar (21.9931°N 96.4711°E; 1125 m in elevation  
Reproductionoviparous (manual imputation, fide Zimin et al. 2022) 
TypesHolotype: USNM 570733, adult male collected on 22 August 2003 at 1955 hrs by George R. Zug. Paratypes. USNM 570732, Adult female collected on 14 August 2003 at ~1500 hrs by monastic brother in rockpile, Yangon Monastery, 11 km ENE of Pyin Oo Lwin, Mandalay Region, Myanmar (22°04.050 N 96° 33.811E, ~900 m elevation); adult females (USNM 570734, 570735) same locality as holotype, 23 August 2003 by San Lwin Oo ~1900 hrs and 20 August 2003 by Jeremy F. Jacobs from jaws of a spider ~1970 hrs, respectively. 
DiagnosisDiagnosis: Hemiphyllodactylus uga sp. nov. can be separated from all other species of Hemiphyllodactylus by possessing the unique combination of having a maximum SVL of 39.0 mm; 8–11 chin scales; enlarged postmentals; five circumnasal scales; two or three intersupranasals (=postrostrals); nine or 10 supralabials; 8–10 infralabials; 13–15 longitudinally arranged dorsal scales at midbody contained within one eye diameter and 6–8 ventral scales; varied digital formulae on hands and feet (Table 5); two or three subdigital lamellae on the first finger and toe; 18–22 continuous, pore-bearing, femoroprecloacal scales in males; no plate-like subcaudal scales; adult females not yellow; a dark postorbital stripe extending to base of neck variably present; variable pairs of paravertebral light spots on trunk; no dark, dorsolateral stripe; no dark paravertebral markings on trunk; dorsal body pattern usually with dark zig-zag markings; postsacral marking not bearing light-colored anteriorly projecting arms; and ceacum and gonads unpigmented. These characters are scored across all species of the eastern Myanmar clade in Tables 5 and 6 and from all other species of Hemiphyllodactylus from southern China and western Thailand (clades 3 and 4 in Grismer et al. [2017b:Table 3]).
