Paratypes.—Adult females (ZRC LSUHC 2.6967–68 and LSUHC 9123–24) collected from same locality on the same date as the holotype and by the same collectors; adult female (ZRC 2.6969) collected at same locality as holotype by Chan, K. O., C. Johnson, and L. Grismer on 19 September 2009. 
DiagnosisDiagnosis: Adult males reaching 93.3 mm SVL, adult females reaching 99.8 mm SVL; 9–12 supralabials, 8–10 infralabials; tubercles of dorsum small to moderately large with no intervening smaller tubercles; no tubercles on ventral surfaces of forelimbs, gular region, or in ventrolateral body fold; 34–44 paravertebral tubercles; 21–25 longitudinal rows of dorsal tubercles; 38–43 rows of ventral scales; 19–21 subdigital lamellae on fourth toe; 30 femoro-precloacal pores in males; dorsum not bearing a scattered pattern of white tubercles; four rarely five dark body bands in adults lacking lightened centers and light colored tubercles; band to interspace ratio 0.75–1.00; 11–16 dark caudal bands on original tail; white caudal bands in adults infused with dark pigmentation; and posterior portion of tail in hatchlings and juveniles white. These characters are scored across all species of the Cyrtodactylus pulchellus complex in Table 6 [GRISMER et al. 2012].
