| Diagnosis | Diagnosis: Cyrtodactylus muluensis sp. nov. can be differentiated from all other species of Cyrtodactylus by the combination of the following characters: maximum SVL of at least 88 mm; 10–13 supralabials; 8–11 infralabials; weak tuberculation on body; no tubercles on ventral surface of forelimbs, gular region, or ventrolateral folds; 33–54 paravertebral tubercles; 13–15 longitudinal tubercle rows; 33–42 ventral scales; 19–22 subdigital lamellae on fourth toe; 5 femoro-precloacal pores; enlarged median row of transverse scales; shallow precloacal groove in males; 5–8 dark dorsal body bands; body bands as wide as or slightly wider than interspaces; no rostral chevron; no white line edging the body bands and nuchal loop; banding pattern on dorsal side of body; no scattered white tubercles on dorsum; and nine dark caudal bands on original tail. These characters are scored across all currently described Bornean Cyrtodactylus species in Table 4 in Davis et al. 2019: 344. Additional details (1542 characters) are available for collaborators and contributors. Please contact us for details. |
| Comment | Sympatry: Cyrtodactylus consobrinus and C. cf. pubisulcus. However, C. consobrinus was seen almost exclusively on large tree trunks and C. cf. pubisulcus was almost exclusively on low-lying vegetation, indicating that they may not be syntopic with one another. |
