| Diagnosis | Diagnosis: Tytthoscincus jaripendek sp. nov. can be differentiated from all other species of Tytthoscincus in the montane clade by having the combination of 8`1 superciliaries; a shallow, pigmented tympanic depression; no enlarged pectoral scales; 28–30 mid- body scales (MB); 63–65 paravertebral scales; 60–62 ventral scales; keeled, subdigital lamellae; five or six subdigital lamellae on the third finger; nine or ten subdigital lamellae on the fourth toe; TD/HL = 0.11– 0.13; HDL/SVL = 0.18–0.19; AXG/SVL = 0.55–0.57; FL/SVL = 0.18–0.21; HDL/SVL = 0.31–0.33 and a maximum SVL of 33.9 mm (Table 6). All non-ratiomet- ric characters are presented in all other Tytthoscincus and species of Sphenomorphus suspected of being Tytthoscincus in Grismer et al. (2016a: 237) and Karin et al. (2016: 416). |
| Comment | Habitat: leaf-litter in hill dipterocarp forests. All specimens were collected by raking leaves that had accumulated at the foot of an earthen bank. Specimens were collected both day and night and during periods of heavy rain. |
| Etymology | The specific epithet jaripendek is derived from the Malay words jari meaning finger and pendek meaning short and refers to this species’ short digits as indicated by its low numbers of subdigital lamellae. |
