| Diagnosis | Diagnosis: A moderately sized species of Lepidodactylus (SVL = 44.0–46.0 mm) with all lamellae undivided; 37–38 enlarged pore-bearing precloacal/femoral scales in a continuous row extending to distal end of each thigh; 38 precloacal/femoral pores in sole male; T3T4webL = 0.26–0.27, T4T5webL = 0.14–0.18, 15–21 lamellae beneath T4, covering most of digit (T4lamellaeL/T4L = 0.88–0.94); EN/IN = 1.86–1.96; pale ventral field ~25 scale rows wide; yellow circumorbital ring in life. Comparisons with other species. The absence of any divided lamellae under the digits places this species in Brown & Parker’s (1977) phenetic Group I. From other members of this group, L. flaviocularis is distinguished as follows: from L. magnus Brown & Parker, L. oorti (Kopstein), and L. sacrolineatus Kraus & Oliver by its smaller size (adult SVL = 50–71 mm in L. magnus, 53–57 mm in L. oorti, 52–60 mm in L. sacrolineatus) and more extensive toe webbing (T3T4webL = 0.26–0.27 vs. 0.11–0.17 in those three species); from L. pumilus (Boulenger), L. sacrolineatus, and L. zweifeli Kraus in having a continuous row of enlarged pore-bearing scales (vs. pores arrayed into three series in those three species); from L. aignanus Kraus in having 37–38 enlarged scales of the pore-bearing series in a continuous row extending to distal end of each thigh (vs. 17 enlarged pore-bearing scales limited to precloacal region in L. aignanus); from L. euaensis Gibbons & Brown, L. listeri (Boulenger), L. manni Schmidt, L. mutahi, L. orientalis and L. pumilus in having 15–21 lamellae under T4 (vs. 8–13 in those six species). Among Melanesian Lepidodactylus, only L. pulcher Boulenger has as many lamellae (16–19) beneath T4, but that species differs from L. flaviocularis in having 1–2 divided subterminal lamellae under T4. The yellow eye ring in life distinguishes L. flaviocularis from all other members of the genus except L. gardineri, which has divided subterminal lamellae.
