“…Southeast Asian Cnemaspis is a monophyletic group (Gamble et al 2012;Pyron et al 2013) that contains 59 species distributed from Laos, southern Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, southward through the Thai-Malay Peninsula to Borneo, Java, and Sumatra (Bauer and Das 1998;Das 2005;Bauer et al 2007;Grismer and Ngo 2007;Grismer et al 2009Grismer et al , 2014Grismer and Chan 2010;Kurita et al 2017;Riyanto et al 2017;Uetz et al 2019). In Thailand, there are currently 17 recognized species of Cnemaspis (Grismer et al , 2014Wood et al 2017;Ampai et al 2019;Uetz et al 2019), ranging from Kanchanaburi Province, western Thailand to Chanthaburi Province, eastern Thailand (Bauer and Das 1998), southward through southern Thailand and its offshore islands (Grismer et al 2014;Wood et al 2017;Ampai et al 2019).…”

The rock-dwelling gecko genus Cnemaspis is one of the most species-diverse genera of gekkonid in Thailand. Earlier studies relied on morphological data to identify species, but cryptic morphology often obscured species diversity in Cnemaspis. In this study, an integrative taxonomic approach based on morphological characters and sequences of the mitochondrial NADH dehydrogenase subunit 2 (ND2) gene were used to clarify current taxonomy of the Cnemaspis siamensis complex and delimit a new species from Lan Saka District, Nakhon Si Thammarat Province, southern Thailand. Cnemaspis lineatubercularissp. nov. is distinguished from other congeneric species by the combination of morphological characters: (1) maximum snout-vent length (SVL) of 40.6 mm (mean 38.8 ± SD 1.4, N = 12) in adult males and maximum SVL of 41.8 mm (mean 39.5 ± SD 1.9, N = 7) in adult females; (2) 8–9 supralabial and infralabial scales; (3) gular, pectoral, abdominal, and subcaudal scales keeled; (4) rostral, interorbitals, supercilium, palmar scales, and ventral scales of brachia smooth; (5) 5–6 small, subconical spine-like tubercles present on flanks; (6) 19–21 paravertebral tubercles linearly arranged; (7) 27–29 subdigital lamellae under the fourth toe; (8) 4–7 pore-bearing precloacal scales, pores rounded arranged in chevron shape and separated only in males; (9) one postcloacal tubercles each side in males; (10) ventrolateral caudal tubercles present anteriorly; (11) caudal tubercles restricted to a single paravertebral row on each side; (12) single median row of subcaudal scales keeled and lacking enlarged median row; and (13) gular region, abdomen, limbs and subcaudal region yellowish only in males. Genetically, the uncorrected pairwise divergences between the new species and their congeners in the C. siamensis group were between 15.53–28.09%. The new species is currently known only from granitic rocky streams at Wang Mai Pak Waterfall in the Nakhon Si Thammarat mountain range. Its discovery suggests that additional unrecognized species of Cnemaspis may still occur in unexplored areas of southern Thailand.

We describe two new insular gecko species of the genus Cnemaspis from Tarutao, Adang, and Rawi islands in Satun Province, southern Thailand. The new species are distinguished from their congeners in having a unique combination of morphological, scalation, and color pattern characters, and by genetic divergence in the mitochondrial NADH dehydrogenase subunit 2 (ND2) gene. Cnemaspistarutaoensissp. nov. was found to be a member of the C.kumpoli group, but is distinguished from all other species in that group by having 8–9 supralabials and 8 infralabials; 4–5 pore-bearing precloacal scales, pores rounded; 17–19 paravertebral tubercles randomly arranged; 27–29 subdigital lamellae under the fourth toe; subcaudal region yellowish, with smooth scales and a single enlarged median row; black gular markings in males and females; and 17.24–22.36% uncorrected pairwise sequence divergences. Cnemaspisadangrawisp. nov. was found to be a member of the C.siamensis group, but is distinguished from all other species in that group by having 10 supralabials and 9 infralabials; 6–8 pore-bearing precloacal scales, pores rounded and arranged in a chevron shape; 23–25 randomly arranged, separated paravertebral tubercle rows; 26–28 subdigital lamellae under the fourth toe; subcaudal scales keeled, without enlarged median row; gular region, abdomen, limbs and subcaudal region yellowish in males only; gular marking absent in males and females; and 8.30–26.38 % uncorrected pairwise sequence divergences. Cnemaspistarutaoensissp. nov. occurs in karst formations on Tarutao Island, while Cnemaspisadangrawisp. nov. is found near granitic, rocky streams on Adang and Rawi islands.

“…Recent decades have seen a rapid increase in the number of newly described herpetofauna species, particularly for amphibians, e.g., Megophrydae (Hamidy & Matsui 2010;Hamidy et al 2012;Eto et al 2018;Munir et al 2018;2021b), Rhacophoridae (Matsui et al 2014;Hamidy & Kurniati 2015;Wostl et al 2017b;Mediyansyah et al 2019;Munir et al 2021a), Microhylidae (Matsui et al 2013;Atmaja et al 2019;Munir et al 2020;Eprilurahman et al 2021), Bufonidae (Smart et al 2017;Hamidy et al 2018;Sarker et al 2019), Ranidae Arifin et al 2018), Dicroglossidae (Iskandar et al 2011a;Mcleod et al 2011); and reptiles, e.g., Gekkonidae including Cyrtodactylus (Iskandar et al 2011b;Riyanto et al 2018a;2018b;, Cnemaspis (Amarasinghe et al 2015a;Riyanto et al 2017;Iskandar et al 2017), Hemiphyllodactylus (Grismer et al 2014), and Lepidodactylus (Stubbs et al 2017); Agamidae (Harvey et al 2014;2018;, Colubridae (Vogel et al 2014;Amarasinghe et al 2015b;Wostl et al 2017a), and Cylindrophiidae (Kieckbusch et al 2016); which highlight the fact that many enigmatic, elusive, and cryptic species are waiting to be discovered. Although the region of Sumatra, Borneo, Celebes, Moluccas and Java has been extensively surveyed (David & Vogel 1996...…”
