Diagnosis | Diagnosis: Hemiphyllodactylus zwegabinensis sp. nov. can be separated from all other species of Hemiphyl- lodactylus by possessing the unique combination of having a maximum SVL of 36.9 mm; 12 chin scales; enlarged postmentals; five circumnasal scales; five intersupranasals (=postrostrals); nine supralabials; 10 infralabials; 16 longitudinally arranged dorsal scales at midbody contained within one eye diameter and seven ventral scales; varied digital formulae on hands and feet; four subdigital lamellae on the first finger and toe; no pore-bearing, femoropre- cloacal scales; no plate-like subcaudal scales; adult females not yellow; a dark postorbital stripe extending to at least base of neck; dorsolateral light-colored spots on trunk; no dark dorsolateral or ventrolateral stripe on trunk; dark paravertebral markings on trunk; light-colored postsacral marking bearing anteriorly projecting arms; and caecum and gonads unpigmented. These characters are scored across all Burmese species in Tables 3 and 6 and from all other species of Hemiphyllodactylus from southern China and western Thailand (clades 3 and 4 in Grismer et al. (2017:Table 3)). Unfortunately we had to temporarily remove additional information as this was scraped by multiple AI companies who sell that data to their customers.
