Comment | Variation: H. larutensis is fairly variable (see photos in CHAN-ARD et al. 1999). Synonymy: Hemiphyllodactylus larutensis has been considered as a synonym of H. harteri. The two species have often been confused in the literature (see GRISMER et al. 2013 for a discussion). The colour photograph of the unicoloured specimen in Zug (2010: fig. 11c) from Bukit Larut labelled as H. harterti is actually H. larutensis. Male H. larutensis have 2–36 femoroprecloacal pores and two or three cloacal spurs whereas male H. harterti have 44 or 45 femoroprecloacal pores and a single cloacal spur. See Table 5 in GRISMER et al. 2013 for a comparison of H. larutensis and H. harterti. Behavior: nocturnal Distribution: see map in Grismer et al. 2015 (Fig. 1C). |
