Common Names 
SynonymCyrtodactylus gansi BAUER 2003
Cyrtodactylus gansi — AGARWAL et al. 2018
Cyrtodactylus gansi — LIU & RAO 2021 
DistributionMyanmar (Burma: Min Dat District in Chin State, in the southern Chin Hills), 750-1300 m elevation.

Type locality: Che Stream, Min Dat Township, Min Dat District, Chin State (21°21’15.5’’N, 93°56’13.3’’E, elevation 780 m.)  
Reproductionoviparous 
TypesHolotype: CAS 222414 
DiagnosisDiagnosis: Cyrtodactylus gansi may be distinguished from all congeners on the basis of its possession of short digits, a single, strongly angled and somewhat recessed series of precloacal pores (16–29) in males (pores smaller and not in groove in females), absence of femoral pores, 20–25 longitudinal rows of dorsal tubercles; 36–40 ventral scales between lowest rows of dorsal tubercles (no discrete ventrolateral folds), subcaudal scalation without enlarged midventral plates, and dorsal pattern of approximately 10 narrow, dark transverse bands from occiput to sacrum, sometimes fragmented anteriorly. Among other species from Myanmar it is most similar to C. khasiensis and C. ayeyarwadyensis (see account of latter species abive), from which it may be distinguished by its shallow precloacal groove (in males) and its dorsal color pattern [after BAUER 2003].
