Diagnosis | Diagnosis: Cnemaspis thayawthadangyi sp. nov. is a small diminutive member of the C. kandiana species group and can be distinguished from all other members of the group by a combination of the following morpho- logical characters: 1) a maximum SVL of 29.9 mm; 2) each postmental bordered posteriorly by four scales; 3) four spine-like ventrolateral tubercles on flank; 4) gular scales keeled; 5) pectoral scales and abdominal scales keeled; 6) ventral scales keeled; 7) three precloacal pores; 8) four femoral pores on each leg; 9) subcaudal scales smooth, scales on median row enlarged and smooth; 10) coloration of the gular region silver with dark-gray irregularly shaped streaks; 11) 6–7 supralabials; 12) 6–7 infralabials; 13) 16–18 subdigital lamellae on the 4th toe; 14) 18–20 ventral scales at midbody. Additional details (2725 characters) are available for collaborators and contributors. Please contact us for details. |
Comment | Habitat: The two specimens were collected on large tree trunks at night close to a stream. This species is probably more widely distributed than currently documented and likely inhabits similar microhabitats on this and other islands in the group. |
Etymology | Named after the type locality of this species—the Thayawthadangyi Kyun (Island) group in the Myeik Archipelago. |
