| Diagnosis | Diagnosis: A small-sized Cyrtodactylus (Geckoella), snout to vent length up to 53.5 mm (n = 16). Dorsal pholidosis heterogeneous; smooth granular scales intermixed with more or less regularly arranged rows of enlarged, feebly keeled, blunt to weakly conical tubercles; 12 or 13 rows of dorsal tubercles at midbody, 25–32 tubercles in paravertebral rows; ventral scales smooth, subcircular, and subimbricate with rounded end, subequal from chest to vent; 8–14 ventral scales at midbody contained within one eye diameter, 33–40 ventral scales across belly at midbody, 44–51 longitudinal scales between axilla to groin, 124– 145 longitudinal scales from mental to cloaca; subdigital scansors smooth, unnotched, and mostly entire; 9–13 lamellae under digit I of manus and pes, 11–15 lamellae under digit IV of manus and 15–18 lamellae under digit IV of pes. 5–7 pairs of dark rounded blotches from nape to hindlimb insertions which may meet on the midline forming horizontal ‘8’ markings or uniform bands; post-occipital collar prominent except rarely separated on neck, postocular streak confluent with first pair of dorsal markings; no regular spots on flanks, darker markings cover > 50 % of dorsum between limb insertions.
