Comment | Cyrtodactylus phuocbinhensis sp. nov. is characterized by a series of enlarged femoral scales separated from preanal scales. C. phuocbinhensis is distinguished from other congeners by a combination of the following characters: small subcaudal scales, not transversely enlarged; presence (C. phuocbinhensis sp. nov.) or absence (C. taynguyenensis sp. nov.) of enlarged femoral scales; number of preanal pores; and dorsal pattern. Habitat. The two geckos were collected at night on rocks and trees along streams at the elevation of 646–1136 m elevation. Abundance: only known from its original description (Meiri et al. 2017). |
Etymology | The specific epithet phuocbinhensis is derived from Phước Bình National Park, where the new species was collected. |
