Abstract

Cyrtodactylus nangunhe sp. nov. Figs 2, 3, 4, 5, 7 Type material. Holotype. China • ♂; Yunnan, Cangyuan; 23°13'19"N, 99°1'2"E; 950 m; 17 Aug. 2024; Shuo Liu leg.; KIZ 2024083. Paratype. China • ♀; same locality; 24 Aug. 2024; Shuo Liu leg.; KIZ 2024084. Diagnosis. Body size relatively large (SVL 89.5–97.0 mm); tail long (TaL / SVL 1.07–1.14); head relatively long (HL / SVL 0.27–0.28), moderately widened (HW / HL 0.67–0.68); snout long (SE / HL 0.40); body slender (AG / SVL 0.43–0.44); 16–18 longitudinal rows of dorsal tubercles at midbody, 25–27 paravertebral tubercles; ventrolateral fold distinct, interspersed with tubercles; 29–31 longitudinal ventral scale rows at midbody; eight precloacal pores separated by one poreless scale in male; precloacal pores absent, three indistinct shallow pits on enlarged precloacal scales in female; 7–8 slightly enlarged femoral scales beneath each thigh in male, four slightly enlarged femoral scales beneath each thigh in female; enlarged femoral scales separated from enlarged precloacal scales by some smaller scales; femoral pores absent in both sexes; 3–4 shallow pits on enlarged femoral scales on each side in male, absent in female; 1–2 postcloacal tubercles on each side; 19–22 lamellae under finger IV, 24–25 lamellae under toe IV; two rows of subcaudals enlarged; dorsal ground color brownish-black; distinct reticulated pattern composed of thin, light-yellow stripes on dorsal head; six irregular, narrow, light-yellow, transverse bands on dorsum; 6–7 light bands on dorsal tail. Description of holotype. Adult male, SVL 89.5 mm; head clearly distinguished from neck, relatively long (HL / SVL 0.28), moderately widened (HW / HL 0.67), depressed (HH / HL 0.44); nare oval, surrounded by supranasal dorsally, rostral anteriorly, first supralabial ventrally, and two postnasals posteriorly; snout long (SE / HL 0.40), round anteriorly, longer than diameter of orbit (SE / OD 1.29); snout scales much larger than those in frontal and parietal regions; eye large (OD / HL 0.31), pupils vertical; upper eyelid fringe with spinous scales; ear opening oval, much small in size (ED / HL 0.05); rostral large (RW / HL 0.17), wider than high (RW / RH 1.54), medially divided dorsally by a suture, reaching to approximately half down rostral, in contact with first supralabial laterally on each side and two supranasals and one internasal dorsally; mental triangular, wider than high (MW / ML 1.31), slightly narrower than rostral (MW / RW 0.88); two postmentals, enlarged, in contact posteriorly, bordered by mental anteromedially, first infralabial anterolaterally and one enlarged chin scale posterolaterally on each side, and small chin scales posteriorly; 8 / 8 supralabials; 8 / 8 infralabials. Body slender (AG / SVL 0.42), ventrolateral fold distinct, interspersed with tubercles; dorsal scales granular; dorsal tubercles heterogeneous, conical, in approximately 18 longitudinal rows at midbody, largest ones approximately five times size of adjoining scales and surrounded by 10 granular scales, approximately 25 paravertebral tubercles; gular region with homogenous small smooth scales; ventral scales smooth, homogenous, larger than those of dorsum and in gular region, subimbricate, in approximately 29 longitudinal rows at midbody; precloacal groove absent; precloacal scales significantly enlarged; eight precloacal pores separated by one poreless scale in middle, round or oval; 8 / 7 slightly enlarged femoral scales, separated from enlarged precloacal scales by some smaller scales; femoral pore absent, four indistinct shallow pits on enlarged femoral scales on left side, three distinct shallow pits on enlarged femoral scales on right side. Limbs relatively long (ForeaL / SVL 0.16, SL / SVL 0.19), fore limbs slender, hind limbs robust; tubercles on dorsal surface of limbs heterogeneous, conical, ones on fore limbs smaller than most dorsal tubercles, ones on hind limbs approximately as large as most dorsal tubercles; interdigital webbing absent; lamellae under finger IV 21 / 22, under toe IV 24 / 24; relative length of fingers I
