Based on three adult specimens, viz. two males and a female that form the type series, a new species of blind or worm-like lizards is described from Pulau (= Island) Manado Tua, a little volcanic island located off the northern tip of the Minahassa Peninsula of Sulawesi, Indonesia. Dibamus manadotuaensis sp. nov. differs from all congeneric species in the following unique combination of characters: maximum snout-vent length 135 mm; tail length up to 14.2 mm (i.e., 12-13% of SVL); labial and nasal sutures present and complete; four (three) postoculars; four to six scales on posterior edge of infralabial; 26-28 midbody scale rows; 30-33 transverse scale rows posterior to head; 25 transverse scale rows anterior to vent; 218-232 ventral scales; 39 subcaudal scales; relative size of frontal to frontonasal 0.68-0.73; relative size of interparietal to surrounding scales 0.67-1.43; 132-135 presacral and 21-24 postsacral vertebrae. Morphologically, D. manadotuaensis is most similar to D. celebensis, which occurs on mainland Sulawesi.Dibamus manadotuaensis sp. nov. represents the twenty-fourth species of Dibamus and the third species of this genus recorded from the Sulawesi region. At the same time, it is the only squamate species considered endemic for the islands of the Bunaken Marine National Park, to which Manado Tua belongs.
基于三个成年标本，即构成模式系列的两只雄性和一只雌性，在印度尼西亚苏拉威西岛米纳哈萨半岛北端外的一座小火山岛马纳多图阿岛（Pulau = 岛）上描述了一种新的盲或蠕虫状蜥蜴。新物种马纳多图阿双足蜥（Dibamus manadotuaensis sp. nov.）在以下独特的特征组合上与所有同属物种不同：最大吻肛长度135毫米；尾长可达14.2毫米（即吻肛长度的12 - 13%）；唇缝和鼻缝存在且完整；有四（三）枚后眼鳞；下唇后缘有四至六枚鳞片；中段有26 - 28排鳞片；头部后方有30 - 33排横向鳞片；泄殖腔前方有25排横向鳞片；腹鳞218 - 232枚；尾下鳞39枚；额鳞与额鼻鳞的相对大小为0.68 - 0.73；顶间鳞与周围鳞片的相对大小为0.67 - 1.43；有132 - 135枚荐前椎骨和21 - 24枚荐后椎骨。形态上，马纳多图阿双足蜥与分布在苏拉威西岛大陆的西里伯斯双足蜥（D. celebensis）最为相似。马纳多图阿双足蜥是双足蜥属的第24个物种，也是苏拉威西地区记录的该属第三个物种。同时，它是马纳多图阿岛所属的布纳肯海洋国家公园岛屿上唯一被视为特有种的有鳞目物种。
