| Distribution | Australia (Western Australia: S Kimberleys) Type locality: Geikie Gorge, Western Australia (18°07'S, 125°39'E) |
| Reproduction | oviparous |
| Types | Holotype: WAM R32154, adult male, collected by W.H. Butler, April 1968. Fixed in 10% formalin, stored in 70% ethanol at WAM. Paratypes (17). WAM R23058*, 43 km SE Halls Creek, WA (18°27'S, 127°15'E); WAM R26824–26, Napier Range, WA (17°20'S, 124°50'E); WAM R27388–92, Mount Anderson, WA (18°02'S, 123°56'E); WAM R46058– 59*, near Wolfe Creek Meteorite Crater, 122 km SW Halls Creek, WA (18°43'S, 126°45'E); WAM R46115*, 11 km E Margaret River Homestead, WA (18°38'S, 126°58'E); WAM R56841–45*, Lake Argyle, WA (16°15'S, 128°45'E). Some registration numbers presented in the original description are in error, with WAM R56441–45 associated with different species. The error originates from a minor numerical error in the registration numbers presented by Storr (1978), and underlined here. The correct numbers associated with the paratype specimens are WAM R56841– 45. Nine paratypes (marked with an asterisk) designated by Storr (1978) fall within the distribution of lineages associated with the C. naso complex identified by Oliver et al. (2012b), and are not true C. rostralis (Doughty et al. 2016: 262). |
| Diagnosis | Diagnosis: A moderate-sized (to 32.7 mm SVL) species of Crenadactylus. Rostral not in contact with nostril, 2–3 internasals present, not extending beyond supranasal, postmentals granular, dorsal scales homogeneous and weakly keeled, 4–6 pre-cloacal pores, innermost pore-bearing scales in contact, no enlarged tubercles on original tails. Ground colour light greyish brown; dorsal pattern consists of well-defined pale and dark longitudinal stripes, lateral zone light grey with usually two moderate to well-defined dark lines between limbs, stippled with single pale scales; ventrum pale grey to white with moderate stippling forming longitudinal lines.

| Comment | Distribution: See map in Doughty et al. 2016: Fig. 2. Habitat. The few records with collection details all mention occurring in spinifex, including a number of recent samples that were raked from large clumps on and around limestone ranges (Doughty et al. 2016). |
| Etymology | The name rostralis is from the Latin rostrum, meaning beak or snout, in reference to this species’ distinctive configuration of having the rostral scale separated from the nostril. |
