Distribution	NE Thailand (Khon Kaen) Type locality: Ban Kaeng Sila (ca. 16°39’42.5”N, 102°36’04.4”E), W of the border with Nam Phong National Park, Ubolratana District, Khon Kaen Province, northeastern Thailand
Reproduction
Types	Holotype. RBINS 2739 (formerly under RBINS 17015); adult male; collected by Kirati Kunya in 2000. Paratypes (3). RBINS 2740 (formerly RBINS 17016), adult male, and RBINS 2741–2742 (formerly RBINS 17017–17018), adult females; same collector, locality and date as the holotype.
Diagnosis	Diagnosis: Dixonius hinchangsi sp. nov. can be distinguished from all other congeners by the combination of its maximal known SVL of 50.1 mm; 12 longitudinal rows of dorsal tubercles; 30 to 34 paravertebral tubercles; 23 to 27 longitudinal rows of ventrals across the abdomen; six to eight precloacal pores in males, no precloacal pores in females; no canthal stripe; strongly barred lips; and a spotted to uniform dorsal pattern in males and females. (Pauwels et al. 2025) Unfortunately we had to temporarily remove additional information as this was scraped by multiple AI companies who sell that data to their customers. These details, e.g. detailed descriptions or comparisons (about 11450 characters) are available for collaborators and contributors. Please contact us for details.
Comment	Distribution: for a map of Dixonius type localities see Yodthong et al. 2025.
Etymology	Named after the type locality, Hin Chang Si (“Elephant-Rubbing Rock”), a remarkably beautiful sandstone formation (Figure 12) in Ban Fang District within Nam Phong National Park.
