Abstract

A new, diminutive species of Rock Gecko Cnemaspis mahsuriae sp. nov. of the affinis group, is described from Gunung Raya on Pulau Langkawi, Kedah, Peninsular Malaysia and is differentiated from all other species in the affinis group by having a unique combination of characters including a maximum SVL of 36.6 mm; keeled subtibials and ventrals; 21-24 paravertebral tubercles; no tubercles in the lateral caudal furrows; caudal tubercles not encircling tail; no precloacal pores; 23-26 subdigital lamellae on the fourth toe; no white ocelli in the shoulder region; no yellow postscapular band; and faint yellow bars on the flanks. Cnemaspis mahsuriae sp. nov. is a forest-dwelling species living in close sympatry or paraptry with the insular endemic C. roticanai Grismer & Chan. The Langkawi Archipelago harbors a unique mix of Malaysian and Indochinese taxa and the frequency of new discoveries from this group of islands is increasing.

摘要

一种新的小型岩蜥——马苏里亚岩蜥（Cnemaspis mahsuriae sp. nov.），隶属近缘种组，在马来西亚半岛吉打州兰卡威岛的瓜拉登嘉楼被发现。它与近缘种组的其他所有物种不同，具有一系列独特特征组合，包括最大头体长36.6毫米；胫部下侧和腹面有棱；21 - 24个椎旁瘤；尾侧沟无瘤；尾瘤不环绕尾部；无泄殖腔前孔；第四趾有23 - 26枚亚趾鳞；肩部无白色眼斑；无黄色肩胛后带；体侧有淡色黄色条纹。马苏里亚岩蜥（Cnemaspis mahsuriae sp. nov.）是一种栖息于森林的物种，与岛屿特有种罗蒂卡奈岩蜥（C. roticanai Grismer & Chan）同域或邻域分布。兰卡威群岛拥有马来西亚和印度支那类群的独特组合，且来自这组岛屿的新发现频率正在增加。
