TypesNeotype. ZMB 55931 near Berastagi 3°11’ N, 98° 31’ E, “Fuss des Sibayak” about 1450 m a.s.l., Sumatera Utara, leg. Ulrich Manthey, April 1996, adult male (designated by Hallermann 2005). Holotype formerly ZSM 3/1928, destroyed fide Glaw, cited in Hallermann 2005. Other specimens: RMNH, ZMH, MZB, UIMZ 
DiagnosisDiagnosis. Bronchocela hayeki can be distinguished from its sympatric congener B. cristatella by the presence of larger gular scales and larger ventral scales in 8 rows (vs. 10 – 12 in cristatella) and crescent-shaped erect nuchals as long as or longer than diameter of orbit in males and a dark brown tympanum and dark colored orbit; from jubata and orlovi with similar nuchal scales and shape of gular sac by higher number of scales around midbody (58 – 75 vs. 43 – 55), from celebensis by a larger diameter of tympanum (more than half diameterof orbit). It differs from B. marmorata by more dorsal scale rows directed upward (7 – 9 vs. 1 – 2 in marmorata, jubata, orlovi, and 3 – 4 in celebensis). It differs from B. danieli, smaragdina and Bronchocela sp. nov. by fourth finger not longer than fifth toe.
