| Diagnosis | Diagnosis: Cyrtodactylus naungkayaingensis sp. nov. differs from all congeners by having the unique combination of maximum SVL 66.9 mm; eight or nine supralabials; seven infralabials; 34 or 35 paravertebral tubercles; 16–18 longitudinal rows of body tubercles; 27 longitudinal rows of ventral scales; relatively long digits with seven expanded subdigital lamellae proximal to the digital inflexion on the fourth toe, 11 or 12 unmodified distal subdigital lamellae, 18–19 total subdigital lamellae; raised, moderately keeled, dorsal body tuber- cles in adults; tubercles extending beyond base of tail; enlarged femoral and precloacal scales continuous; enlarged proximal femoral scales less than one-half the size of enlarged distal femoral scales; 30–35 enlarged femoral scales; 11 femoral pores in males; three or four precloacal pores in males; pore-bearing femoral and precloacal scales discontinuous; 8–12 enlarged precloacal scales; three rows of enlarged post- precloacal scales; medial subcaudal scales 3 times as wide as long, extending onto lateral surface of tail; top of head mottled in adults, no yellow reticulum; nuchal loop not divided medially, no pronounced anterior azygous notch, posterior border jagged; four jagged, dark, dorsal bands with lightened centres bearing paravertebral elements, narrower than interspaces, not edged with white tubercles; nape band variably present; dark markings in dorsal interspaces; ventrolateral folds not whitish; anterodorsal margins of thighs and brachia not pigmented; 11 light-coloured caudal bands bearing dark markings, not encircling tail; 10 dark caudal bands wider than light caudal bands; and mature regenerated tail not spotted. These characters are scored against all other species in the sinyineensis group in Table 4 and all other species of the Indochinese clade in Grismer et al. (2017a, table 8). 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 2713 characters) are available for collaborators and contributors. Please contact us for details. |
