Common Names 
SynonymCyrtodactylus ayeyarwadyensis BAUER 2003
Cyrtodactylus ayeyarwadyensis— AGARWAL et al. 2018 
DistributionMyanmar (Burma: Rakhine), Bangladesh

Type locality: Khoko Gwe Creek, Rakhine Yoma Elephant Range, Gwa Township, Rakhine State, Myanmar (17°43’48.3’’N, 94°39’02.7’’E)  
Reproductionoviparous 
TypesHolotype: CAS 226154 
DiagnosisDiagnosis: Cyrtodactylus ayeyarwadyensis may be distinguished from all congeners on the basis of its possession of short digits, a single series of precloacal pores (10–28) in males only, absence of femoral pores and precloacal groove, 22–24 longitudinal rows of dorsal tubercles; 32–37 ventral scales between ventrolateral folds, subcaudal scalation without enlarged midventral plates, and dorsal pattern of 9–11 (usually 10) transverse rows of rectangular brown blotches from occiput to sacrum, usually bordered posteriorly by white punctations or a narrow white band. Among other species from Myanmar it is most similar to C. khasiensis and a new species from Chin State, described below. All are similar in size and bear a series of dark dorsal markings. Cyrtodactylus ayeyarwadyensis differs from C. khasiensis, however, in having (in some specimens) a greater number of precloacal pores (maximum 28 vs 14), rectangular dorsal blotches (vs a more variegated pattern of alternating irregular light and dark bands, or even stripes; Hora 1926), white dorsal punctuations or lines bordering dorsal blotches (in most cases), and narrow white tail bands (vs subequal light and dark bands in C. khasiensis). It differs from the other new species in both color pattern (rectangular dark markings and white punctuations vs narrow transverse bands) and precloacal pore configuration (strongly angled and recessed into a shallow groove in the Chin State species) [after BAUER 2003].
