A new cyrtodactylus (Squamata: Gekkonidae) from khanh hoa province, southern Vietnam
We describe a new species of the genus Cyrtodactylus from southern
Vietnam, based on morphological and molecular datasets. Cyrtodactylus
cucdongensis sp. nov. is described on the basis of seven specimens
collected from Cuc Dong Cape, Khanh Hoa Province. The new species can be
distinguished from the remaining bent-toed geckos by a combination of
the following characters: maximum SVL 65.9 mm; 16-19 dorsal tubercle
rows; 41-44 ventral scales at midbody; 5 or 6 precloacal pores in males,
4-6 pitted precloacal scales in females; no femoral pores; 6-13
enlarged precloacal scales; 5- 9 enlarged femoral scales; no
transversally enlarged subcaudals; dorsal pattern consisting of
irregular dark bands. This is the 33rd species of Cyrtodactylus known
from Vietnam
