Abstract


This paper describes a new species of the genus Cyrtodactylus. Cyrtodactylus caovansungi sp. nov. occuring in the Ninh Thuan Province (South Vietnam). It can be distinguished from all other Cyrtodactylus species distributed in Vietnam by a male with well developed nine V-shaped preanal pores. There are 8 enlarged femoral scales on each side; however femoral pores are present only on three of them, located closer to the knee bend. Roundish-triangular dorsal tubercles with well keels are placed at 16 – 18 not regular longitudinal rows.
