DiagnosisDiagnosis: A species of Cyrtodactylus that can be distinguished from all other species of Melanesian Cyrtodactylus by the following unique combination of character states: moderate size (adult SVL 78–112 mm); continuous medial row of transversely enlarged subcaudal scales absent; enlarged femoral scales absent; precloacal or femoral pores in males absent; dorsal colouration on body of 5–6 irregular dark-brown dorsal bands or series of blotches (not including nuchal band) alternating with weaker brown interstitial bands; dorsal and lateral tubercles present on proximal and distal segments of all limbs; dorsal tubercles at mid-point of body between lateral skin folds in 16–19 rows; tubercles across supraand interorbital regions usually <10; majority (>90%) of tubercles within dark-brown dorsal bands also dark brown and not contrasting against surrounding pigmentation; pale yellow lateral spots absent or at most sparse on head and torso; pale regions on dorsal surfaces of neck and posterior head lacking aggregations of subcircular markings; and nuchal band with few or no subcircular indentations along its margins (Oliver et al. 2020: 344).
