| Diagnosis | Diagnosis (based on type series). Cyrtodactylus peninsularis sp. nov. can be separated from all other species of the malayanus group by the combination of having a maximum SVL of 128.7 mm (female); 8–10 supralabials; 10–12 infralabials; 25–30 paravertebral tubercles; 15–20 rows of longitudinally arranged tubercles; 40–62 longitudinal rows of ventrals; 243–299 transverse rows of ventrals; 7–9 expanded subdigital lamellae on the fourth toe; 13–16 unmodified subdigital lamellae on the fourth toe; 21–25 total subdigital lamellae on the fourth toe; 21–25 total number of enlarged femorals; 2–9 total number of femoral pores in males, no femoral pores in females; 10–12 enlarged precloacals; nine or ten precloacal pores in males (n = 3), precloacal pores in some females (three of seven); two or three rows of large post-precloacals; two postcloacal tubercles (spines) on each side; dorsal pattern extremely variable, dark dorsal bands very wide reducing the pale dorsal interspaces to 2–4 thin lines; seven or eight dark and pale caudal bands (n = 3); large moderately keeled body tubercles; caudal tubercles extend beyond base of tail; subcaudals transversely expanded but not extending high up onto side of tail; enlarged distal femorals and enlarged precloacals not contiguous; no enlarged proximal femorals; top of head overlain with reticulating white network of thin lines; dark caudal bands wider than pale caudal bands; dark markings usually within pale caudal bands in adults (Tables 7, 8, Figs 5, 6, Suppl. material 2).
