| Types | Holotype. IEBR R.6365 (Field number KH.2020.7), adult male, collected on 26 September 2020 by C.T. Pham. Paratypes. Five adult males: IEBR R.6366 (Field number KH.2020.5), IEBR R.6367 (Field number KH.2020.8), IEBR R.6368 (Field number KH.2020.11), IEBR R.6369 (Field number KH.2020.12), IEBR R.6370 (Field number KH.2020.13); three adult females: IEBR R.6371 (Field number KH.2020.6), IEBR R.6372 (Field number KH.2020.9), IEBR R.6373 (Field number KH.2020.10), the same data as the holotype. |
| Diagnosis | Diagnosis: The new species can be distinguished from other members of the Cyrtodactylus irregularis group by a combination of the following characteristics: size medium (SVL 70.9–78.0 mm); dorsal tubercles in 15–17 irregular rows; 34 or 35 ventral scale rows; 12–15 enlarged femoral scales on each side, in continuous series without gap between precloacal and femoral scales; precloacal pores absent in females, 5–7 in males, in a continuous row; femoral pores absent; postcloacal spurs 0–3 on each side; 19–21 lamellae under toe IV; dorsal pattern between limb insertions consisting four narrow light bands with dark edges and a transversal row of dark spots in the middle; subcaudal scales enlarged, forming broad transverse plates. (Do et al. 2025) Unfortunately we had to temporarily remove additional information as this was scraped by multiple AI companies who sell that data. However, these details, e.g. detailed descriptions (about about 6.05 pages) are available for collaborators and contributors. Please contact us if you need any of this material. |
