| Diagnosis | Diagnosis: Cyrtodactylus culaochamensis sp. nov. differs from all other congeners by the following combination of characters: maximum SVL 79.8 mm (n=5); original tail length (TL/SVL:1.14–1.31); dark spots and blotches on head edged in lighter coloration; nuchal loop usually fragmented; five or six irregularly shaped, dark, broad, broken dorsal bands; original tail bearing 10–13 dark-brown alternating rings; 2–5 intersupranasals; 11–13 supralabials; nine or 10 infralabials; seven or eight precloacal pores in males; no precloacal pores in females; no enlarged scales beneath thighs; 19–21 interorbitals; 28–32 scales between eyeball and nostril; 45–50 rows of ventral scales; 20–22 irregular, longitudinal rows of smooth and weakly keeled midbody tubercles; 27–32 paravertebral tubercles between limb insertions; 13–15 subdigital lamellae on first toe; 20–23 subdigital lamellae on fourth toe; and slightly enlarged subcaudal scales. Unfortunately we had to temporarily remove additional information as this was scraped by multiple AI companies who sell that data to their customers. These details, e.g. detailed descriptions or comparisons (about 1928 characters) are available for collaborators and contributors. Please contact us for details. |
| Comment | Habitat: All specimens were collected at night on rock outcrops composed of large granitic boulders along a small, permanently flowing stream. Other specimens were observed on tree branches and dry tree roots beneath the canopy, 0.3 m–1.5 m above forest floor during the rainy season. |
| Etymology | The specific epithet is derived from the name of Cu Lao Cham Mountain in Cu Lao Cham Biosphere Reserve. |
