| Comment | HAbitat: evergreen hill forest in the vicinity of rocky streams. All specimens were collected at night at the base of trees and on leaves and branches 1–1.5 m above the ground. Lizards were most commonly seen at the higher elevations of Camp 11. |
| Etymology | The specific epithet, thylacodactylus, is a Latinized adjective in masculine gender, derived from Greek thylakos meaning “pouch”, and daktylos meaning “digit” in reference to the unique morphology of the new species having deep interdigital pocketing between some of the digits. |
