One adult male ZIN 28250 (FN 193) and two adult females ZMMU R-13983 (FN 257); ZIN 28251 (FN 191). All type specimens are with the same data as the holotype. 
DiagnosisDiagnosis: Relatively small Cyrtodactylus with a maximum SVL of 73 mm; the new species is distinguished from all other congeners by the combination of the following morphological characters. Dorsal pattern consisting of wide dark nuchal band and 4–5 dark wide transverse bands with smooth edges. Widths of interspaces between dorsal bands are less than widths of the bands. Dorsal surface of head is light yellowish, without any clear pattern. Dark wide transverse bands present on the tail. Roundish weakly keeled tubercles present on the dorsum, hind limbs, temporal region of the head, on the tail base and absent on the dorsal surface of the head. Ventrals in 32–38 longitudinal rows at midbody. Lateral folds weakly developed. Continuous series of 40–44 pre- cloacal and femoral pores in males reach the bend of knee. Enlarged femoral scales present, 5–6 enlarged postcloacal spurs in both sexes. Subcaudal scales transversally enlarged in one median row.
