Bemerkungen über cyrtodactyline Geckos aus Thailand nebst Beschreibungen von zwei neuen Arten (Reptilia: Gekkonidae)

Abstract

Abstract Notes on Cyrtodactyline Gekkos from Thailand with Descriptions of Two New Species (Reptilia: Geckonidae) From a small collection of cyrtodactyline geckos made by J. N ABHITABHATA in various parts of Thailand, four species are morphologically described. Two of them turned out to be new and are consequently described as Cyrtodactylus interdigitalis sp. nov. and Cyrtodactylus jarujini sp. nov. Whereas in the former it is very obvious that the new species is cladistically related to C. brevipalmatus (S MITH ) and C. elok D RING by sharing the feature of interdigital membranes, the relationships of the latter are not quite clear. From its habitus and colouration this new species is similar to C. khasiensis (J ERDON ) and possibly C. medogensis (Z HAO & L I ), but differs considerably from these by having femoral pores. Furthermore, a sample of the poorly known C. oldhami (T HEOBALD ) with an unusual colour pattern and a single female specimen of C. brevipalmatus (S MITH ) are described. For each species ecological data are supplied additionally.
