Type locality: Nui Cam Mountain, An Giang province, Vietnam  
Reproductionoviparous (manual imputation, fide Zimin et al. 2022) 
TypesHolotype: LSUHC 12484, adult male, collected on 5 December 2005 by Ngo Van Tri. Paratypes. Adult male LSUHC 8244 and adult female 8243 bear the same collection data as holotype. Adult female LSUHC 12485 was collected at the same location. Adult male LSUHC 12488 and adult females LSUHC 12486–87 were collected on the adjacent hill Ta Soc Mountain, An Giang province, Vietnam. Adult males NAP– 05274, 05277, and adult females NAP–05272–73, 05275–76, all registered as ZMMU R–14773, were collected at Nui Cam mountain, An Giang Province, Vietnam, on 26 August 2015 by N.A. Poyarkov and Nguyen Ngoc Hung (N 10.51169; E 104.97193; 436 meters in elevation). Adult males NAP–05320–21, 05323, 05325, and adult females NAP–05322, 05324, all registered as ZMMU R–14775, were collected at Nui Co To mountain, An Giang Province, Vietnam, on 25 August 2015 by N.A. Poyarkov and Nguyen Ngoc Hung (N 10.38607; E 104.99169; 388 meters in elevation).

CommentHabitat: large granite rocks, occasionally on tree trunks up to 2.5 m above the ground, or on the forest floor hiding in the leaf litter. Most specimens were recorded on vertical surfaces of large granite rocks or in caverns between them.

Sympatry: Cnemaspis nuicamensis, Gehyra mutilata, Hemiphyllodactylus sp., Calotes versicolor, Lipinia vittigera and Scincella cf. rufocaudata. On Nui Co To Mountain Cyrtodactylus septimontium sp. nov. was also recorded mostly on large granite rocks at elevations 350 – 450 m a.s.l., where it was found in sympatry with Cyrtodactylus grismeri and Cnemaspis tucdupensis. 
EtymologyThe specific epithet, septimontium, is a noun in apposition in reference to a Latinization of the Vietnamese name for the hill range Bảy Núi meaning the “Seven Mountains”.
