| Diagnosis | Diagnosis. Cyrtodactylus awalriyantoi sp. nov. is assigned to the sworderi group based on its phylogenetic position (Fig. 1) and the genetic distances to other congenerics (Table 2). This new species can be differentiated from all other Cyrtodactylus by having the following combination of characters: a small size, SVL 37.5–53.78 mm; axilla to groin distance 16.65–24.31 mm; head width 6.21–8.45 mm; longitudinal rows of dorsal tubercles 16–19; paravertebral tubercles 31–41; ventral scales 32–43; 24–49 enlarged precloacal and femoral scales; precloacal pores rarely present, maximum only two pores in one individual (only two individuals possessed pores); no precloacal groove or depression; postcloacal tubercles two on each side; 14–19 subdigital lamellae on fourth toe; 9–15 supralabial scales; 9–12 infralabial scales; 3–4 internasal scales; and 3–6 gular scales that bordered first pair of postmental scales.

| Etymology | Named after Indonesian herpetologist, Awal Riyanto. He has dedicated much of his time researching Indonesian Cyrtodactylus from Indonesia, as well as patiently and continuously supervising many younger amphibian and reptile taxonomists from both academic institutions and independent positions. |
