A third new Cyrtodactylus (Squamata: Gekkonidae) from Ba Den Mountain, Tay Ninh Province, southern Vietnam

摘要

We describe the third new species of the genus Cyrtodactyhis from Ba Den Mountain, Tay Ninh Province, southern Viet- nam based on a type series consisting of eleven specimens. Cyrtodactyhis thuongae sp. nov. is distinguished from the remaining Indochinese Bent-toed Geckos by a combination of the following morphological characters: size medium, with a maximum SVL of 77.6 mm; dorsal pattern consisting of blotches between limbs and on occiput and a sometimes medially opened nuchal loop; dorsal tuberclesin 16-18 irregular rows; ventrals in 29-44 longitudinal rows at midbody; lateral skin folds present, lacking tubercles; femoral pore series separated from precloacal pore series in males, 0-3 on each side; precloacal pores in males absent or only one; enlarged femoral scales and precloacal scales present, separated by a series of 15-16 smaller scales: postcloacal spurs two or three; subcaudal scales slightly enlarged. This is the 32nd described Cyr-todactylus species from Vietnam.
