| Common Names | E: Five-banded Bent-toed Gecko |
| Synonym | Cyrtodactylus limajalur DAVIS, BAUER, JACKMAN, NASHRIQ & DAS 2019 |
| Distribution | East Malaysia (Borneo: Sarawak) Type locality: near Kampung Tubih Mawang, Serian, Sarawak, East Malaysia. (01°17'47.62"N; 110°26'33.00"E; 88 m elevation; WGS 1984) |
| Reproduction | oviparous (manual imputation, fide Zimin et al. 2022) |
| Types | Holotype: CAS 262848, adult male (Fig. 5 in Davis et al. 2019), collected by Izneil Nashriq and Hayden Davis on August 06, 2017 at 20:00–22:00 hrs (Fig. 1). Paratypes. Paratypes (CAS 262846; CAS 262847; and CAS262849) (Fig. 5) have the same collection data as the holotype. |
| Diagnosis | Diagnosis: Cyrtodactylus limajalur sp. nov. can be differentiated from all other species of Cyrtodactylus by the combination of the following characters: maximum SVL of at least 94 mm; 10–12 supralabials; 9–11 infralabials; weak tuberculation on body; no tubercles on ventral surface of forelimbs, gular region, or ventrolateral folds; 34–38 paravertebral tubercles; 11–13 longitudinal tubercle rows; 33–42 ventral scales; 19–22 subdigital lamellae on fourth toe; 5–6 enlarged femoral scales; no femoral pores; 7–8 precloacal pores; precloacal pit in males; enlarged median row of transverse scales; 5 dark dorsal body bands; body bands more than two times the width of interspaces; rostral chevron just posterior to orbitals; no white line edging the body bands and nuchal loop; and no scattered white tubercles on dorsum. These characters are scored across all currently recorded Bornean Cyrtodactylus species in Table 4 in Davis et al. 2019: 344. |
| Comment | Sympatry: Cyrtodactylus consobrinus and C. pubisulcus. However, C. consobrinus was seen almost exclusively on large tree trunks and C. pubisulcus was only found on low-lying vegetation, indicating that they may not be syntopic with C. limajalur sp. nov. |
| Etymology | The specific epithet limajalur is in reference to the banding pattern of the species. “Lima jalur” loosely translated from Malay is five-banded. Cyrtodactylus limajalur sp. nov. has a very distinct banding pattern that is consistently comprised of five bands. This species is the first Bornean Cyrtodactylus species that displays a consistent banding pattern, without blotches or other markings. |
