Diagnosis | Diagnosis: A medium size species of Cyrtodactylus reaching 89 mm SVL and distinguished from all congeners by the following combination of characters: (1) body moderately robust; limbs and digits relatively long; (2) tail 1.05–1.19 times longer than body; (3) subpyramidal, weakly keeled tubercles extending from parietal region and supraorbital skin to base of tail, 24–27 irregular longitudinal rows of tubercles at midbody, 29–35 irregular transverse rows between limbs; (4) dorsal antebrachium tuberculate, brachium lacking tubercles; (5) tubercles on tail restricted to basal third; (6) 33–44 ventrals in a transverse row at midbody; (7) subcaudals not transversely enlarged; (8) deep, subtriangular precloacal depression in males; (9) 36–38 femoral and precloacal pores in males, arrayed in a continuous series (fewer pore primordia usually present in females), sunken into precloacal depression; (10) scale at anterior apex of pore-bearing scales greatly enlarged, sunken into precloacal depression in males, superficial in females; (11) pore-bearing series sharply transitioning to tiny granular scales of postaxial surface of thigh; (12) 19–22 lamellae under fourth toe; (13) cloacal tubercles 2/2 or 3/3 contacting one another; (14) dorsal pattern of brown blotches widely edged in black; tubercles on flanks yellow to pale cream; (15) labials mostly yellow; wide U-shaped band around occiput to loreal region; (16) 5–7 transverse, irregular or broken bands on body; 9–11 regular bands on tail, incomplete ventrally, except near distal tip of some specimens. |
Comment | Abundance: only known from its original description (Meiri et al. 2017). |
Etymology | This species’ name semicinctus is a masculine adjective derived from the Latin noun cinctum, meaning girdle or belt, and prefix semi, meaning partial or incomplete. The name alludes to the incomplete caudal rings of this species. |
