Etymology | Specific epithet ‘chungi’ is in honor of Prof. Dr Ngo Dac Chung, College of Education, Hue University, in recognition of his outstanding contributions to training of many herpetologist generations from Hue University. For the common names we suggest Chung’s Bent-toed Gecko (English) and Thạch sùng ngón chứng (Vietnamese). |
