Abstract

Cyrtodactylus hikidai sp. nov. is a new gekkonid species described on the basis of 13 specimens collected from MountRanai, Bunguran Island, Indonesia. This large Cyrtodactylus (female SVL up to 102.2 mm, male SVL up to 100.6 mm)differs from all other Sunda Shelf species of Cyrtodactylus by the combination of a reticulated color pattern on the dorsumof the head, body banded, enlarged precloacal scales, six pore-bearing precloacal scales in a deep groove in both malesand females, tubercles on forelimbs, hind limbs and occiput, absence of enlarged femoral scales, and absence of femoral pores.
