| Comment | Synonymy: Grismer et al. 2015 synonymized C. thochuensis with Cyrtodactylus leegrismeri. NCBI taxonID: 2022455 [thochuensis] Note the author names are cited this way based on their citation in Grismer et al. 2010 (Zootaxa 2625: 49) despite the fact that the paper says “CHAN KIN ONN & NORHAYATI AHMAD”. Abundance: Both leegrismeri and thochuensis were only known from their original description (Meiri et al. 2017), but with the synonymization of thochuensis it’s known from at least one other locality. Etymology: thochuensis is derived from Tho Chu Island, the type locality. |
| Etymology | The specific epithet leegrismeri honors L. Lee Grismer for his contributions to the study of herpetology in Peninsular Malaysia. |
