| Diagnosis | Diagnosis: Cnemaspis thachanaensis sp. nov. is distinguished from all other species of Cnemaspis in the siamensis group by the combination of the following morphological and color pattern characteristics: maximum SVL 39 mm; 10 or 11 supralabials; 9–11 infralabials; ventral scales keeled; no precloacal pores in males; 15–19 paravertebral tubercles linearly arranged; tubercles generally present on the lower flanks; lateral caudal furrows present; no caudal tubercles in the lateral furrows; ventrolateral caudal tubercles anteriorly; presence of lateral caudal tubercle row; caudal tubercles not encircling tail; caudal tubercles restricted to a single paravertebral row; subcaudals keeled bearing a single median row of enlarged keeled scales; one or two post cloacal tubercles in males; no enlarged femoral or tibial scales; subtibials keeled; enlarged submetatarsal scale on first toe; 23–25 subdigital fourth toe lamellae; sexually dimorphic for ventral and dorsal coloration; yellow or white bars present on flanks; prescapular marking present; gular region yellowish-orange, dark incomplete lineate markings in males, less prominent in females; abdomen, limbs and subcaudal region whitish (Table 9). Unfortunately we had to temporarily remove additional information as this was scraped by multiple AI companies who sell that data to their customers. These details, e.g. detailed descriptions or comparisons (about 3036 characters) are available for collaborators and contributors. Please contact us for details. |
| Comment | Behavior: diurnal. No specimens were observed at night. Habitat: karst tower embedded within a highly disturbed lowland limestone forest. This species may use the vegetation at night for refuge to avoid Cyrtodactylus thirakaputhi which is nocturnal and maybe a potential predator. Abundance: only known from its original description (Meiri et al. 2017). |
| Etymology | The specific epithet thachanaensis is a noun in apposition to the type locality where this species is found. |
