A NEW SPECIES OF Cyrtodactylus GRAY, 1827 (SQUAMATA, GEKKONIDAE), PREVIOUSLY CONFUSED WITH C. wayakonei NGUYEN, KINGSADA, ROSLER, AUER ET ZIEGLER, 2010

A new species of the Cyrtodactylus chauquangensis species group is described from Yunnan Province, China, based on morphological and molecular data. The new species closely resembles C. wayakonei morphologically, but can be separated from the latter by having more white rings on original tail, more lamellae under finger IV and toe IV, less longitudinal ventral scale rows, and enlarged femoral scales. However, the new species is closely related to C. martini rather than C. wayakonei genetically. The new species differs from C. martini by genetic distance of 3.3% and from investigated other members of the C. chauquangensis species group by genetic distances of 6.4 - 17.8% in the COI gene.
