We investigate the taxonomy of slender geckos (Hemiphyllodactylus) in Thailand by means of molecular phylogenetics and morphological study using specimens from three provinces; Chiang Mai, Kamphaeng Phet, and Chanthaburi. The results of phylogenetic analyses had shown that the genetic data of populations from 2 provinces were distinctly different from known species. In addition, some morphological characters of these two populations such as lamellar formula on fore- and hindfoot differed from the other species. The integrated taxonomy using molecular phylogenetics and morphological study revealed two new species, Hemiphyllodactylus khlonglanensis sp. nov. from western Thailand, and Hemiphyllodactylus flaviventris sp. nov. from eastern Thailand as described herein.
我们通过分子系统发育学和形态学研究，利用来自清迈、甘烹碧和尖竹汶三个省份的标本，对泰国细趾虎属（半叶趾虎属）进行了分类研究。系统发育分析结果表明，来自两个省份的种群的遗传数据与已知物种明显不同。此外，这两个种群的一些形态特征，如前足和后足的鳞片公式，也与其他物种不同。利用分子系统发育学和形态学研究的综合分类法揭示了两个新物种，即本文所述的来自泰国西部的新物种长蓝半叶趾虎（Hemiphyllodactylus khlonglanensis sp. nov.）和来自泰国东部的新物种黄腹半叶趾虎（Hemiphyllodactylus flaviventris sp. nov.）。
