Type locality: Gua Gunting, Merapoh, Pahang, Peninsular Malaysia (4° 42.069 N 101° 58.512 E; at 257 m elevation).  
Reproductionoviparous (manual and phylogenetic imputation, fide Zimin et al. 2022) 
TypesHolotype: LSUHC 11022, adult male, collected on 23 June 2013 by Chan Kin Onn at 2200 hrs. 
DiagnosisDiagnosis: Cyrtodactylus sharkari sp. nov. can be differentiated from all other species of Cyrtodactylus by having 11 supralabials; 8–10 infralabials; moderately strong body tuberculation; no tubercles on the ventral surface of the forelimbs, gular region, or in the ventrolateral body folds; 31 paravertebral tubercles; 24 longitudinal tubercle rows on body; 41 ventral scales; 24 subdigital lamellae on the fourth toe; 46 femoroprecloacal pores; shallow precloacal groove; four dark dorsal body bands; body band/interspace ratio 1.75; body bands and nuchal loop edged with a thin yellowish line; no scattered white tubercles on the dorsum; seven dark caudal bands on the original tail; white caudal bands nearly immaculate; and a maximum SVL of 100.1 mm. These characters are scored across all species of the C. pulchellus complex in Table 5. 
CommentAbundance: only known from the type specimen (Meiri et al. 2017). 
EtymologyThe specific epithet sharkari is a patronym honoring Dato Mohd. Sharkar Shamsudin Chairman of the Pahang State Tourism and Culture Committee for his persistence in ensuring the cancellation of the proposed cement plant in Merapoh.
