| Comment | Glenn Shea (pers. comm., 16 Apr 2017) has examined the holotype, in which “the lower eyelid (though somewhat damaged) is certainly scaly, lacking a window, the median preanals are enlarged and laterally overlap the lateral preanals, and there are no supranasals, so that would make it (on current taxonomy) a Sphenomorphus”. Abundance: only known from the type locality (Meiri et al. 2017). |
| Etymology | Named after entomologist “cand. phil. René Malaise” (29 September 1892 – 1 July 1978) who brought the specimens from Myanmar to Stockholm. |
