TypesHolotype: ZMMU R–13984, Adult male, collected on 19 June 2009 by Nikolai Orlov, Sang Ngoc Nguyen and Konstantin Milto. Paratypes. Two adult males ZMMU R–13985–1 (FN 4); ZIN 28252 (FN 3), six adult females ZMMU R-13985-2; 13985-3; 13985-4 (FN 5, 6, 7); ZIN 28253; 28254; 28255 (FN 1, 2, the third without field number), and three subadult specimens ZMMU R-13985-5 (FN 8); ZIN 28256; 28257 (FN 9, 10). All members of the type series have the same collection data as the holotype. 
DiagnosisDiagnosis: Relatively large-sized species of Cyrtodactylus with a maximum SVL of 98 mm; the new species is distinguished from its congeners by a combination of the following morphological features. Dorsal pattern consisting of dark irregular separate spots and blotches between limbs and on the dorsal part of the head. The nuchal band is not developed, 6–8 dark wide transversal bands with irregular edges present on the dorsal surface of tail. Small smooth roundish dorsal tubercles present on the occipital region and sides of the head, body, hind limbs and the base of tail. Ventrals in 30–38 longitudinal rows at midbody. Continuous series of 58–60 precloacal and femoral pores in males, 5–6 postcloacal spurs in both sexes. Tail not segmented without whorls and keeled tubercles on its dorsal surface, one median row of transversally enlarged subcaudal scales.
