Subspecies 
Common NamesE: Five-banded Bent-toed Gecko 
SynonymCyrtodactylus limajalur DAVIS, BAUER, JACKMAN, NASHRIQ & DAS 2019 
DistributionEast Malaysia (Borneo: Sarawak)

Type locality: near Kampung Tubih Mawang, Serian, Sarawak, East Malaysia. (01°17'47.62"N; 110°26'33.00"E; 88 m elevation; WGS 1984)  
Reproductionoviparous (manual imputation, fide Zimin et al. 2022) 
TypesHolotype: CAS 262848, adult male (Fig. 5 in Davis et al. 2019), collected by Izneil Nashriq and Hayden Davis on August 06, 2017 at 20:00–22:00 hrs (Fig. 1).
Paratypes. Paratypes (CAS 262846; CAS 262847; and CAS262849) (Fig. 5) have the same collection data as the holotype. 
DiagnosisDiagnosis: Cyrtodactylus limajalur sp. nov. can be differentiated from all other species of Cyrtodactylus by the combination of the following characters: maximum SVL of at least 94 mm; 10–12 supralabials; 9–11 infralabials; weak tuberculation on body; no tubercles on ventral surface of forelimbs, gular region, or ventrolateral folds; 34–38 paravertebral tubercles; 11–13 longitudinal tubercle rows; 33–42 ventral scales; 19–22 subdigital lamellae on fourth toe; 5–6 enlarged femoral scales; no femoral pores; 7–8 precloacal pores; precloacal pit in males; enlarged median row of transverse scales; 5 dark dorsal body bands; body bands more than two times the width of interspaces; rostral chevron just posterior to orbitals; no white line edging the body bands and nuchal loop; and no scattered white tubercles on dorsum. These characters are scored across all currently recorded Bornean Cyrtodactylus species in Table 4 in Davis et al. 2019: 344.

CommentSympatry: Cyrtodactylus consobrinus and C. pubisulcus. However, C. consobrinus was seen almost exclusively on large tree trunks and C. pubisulcus was only found on low-lying vegetation, indicating that they may not be syntopic with C. limajalur sp. nov. 
EtymologyThe specific epithet limajalur is in reference to the banding pattern of the species. “Lima jalur” loosely translated from Malay is five-banded. Cyrtodactylus limajalur sp. nov. has a very distinct banding pattern that is consistently comprised of five bands. This species is the first Bornean Cyrtodactylus species that displays a consistent banding pattern, without blotches or other markings.
