An integrative taxonomic analysis using color pattern, morphology, and 1449 base pairs of the ND2 mitochondrial gene and its five flanking tRNAs demonstrated that eight species-level lineages occur within the Cyrtodactylus intermedius complex (Cyrtodactylus intermedius sensu stricto, C. phuquocensis and related populations) of the Cardamom mountains and associated highlands that have a sequence divergence ranging 3.4-8.9%. Additionally, each lineage is discretely diagnosable from one another based on morphology and color pattern and most occur in specific geographic regions (upland areas, karst formations or islands) that prevent or greatly restrict interpopulation gene flow. Six of these lineages were masquerading under the nomen C. intermedius and are described as the following: Cyrtodactylus auralensis sp. nov. endemic to Phnom Aural, the highest mountain in Cambodia; C. bokorensis sp. nov. endemic to the Bokor Plateau, Cambodia; C. cardamomensis sp. nov. from the main block of the Cardamom mountains; C. thylacodactylus sp. nov. endemic to Phnom Dalai the northernmost peak of the Cardamom mountains; C. laangensis sp. nov. endemic to the Phnom Laang karst formation, Cambodia; and C. septimontium sp. nov. from the Bảy Núi Hills of southwest Vietnam.
一项综合分类学分析利用色斑、形态学以及线粒体基因ND2的1449个碱基对及其五个侧翼转运RNA，结果表明豆蔻山脉及相关高地的中介弯脚虎复合体（狭义中介弯脚虎、富国弯脚虎及相关种群）内存在八个物种水平的谱系，其序列分歧范围为3.4 - 8.9%。此外，每个谱系基于形态学和色斑可彼此明确区分，且大多数分布在特定地理区域（高地、喀斯特地貌或岛屿），这些区域阻碍或极大限制了种群间的基因流动。其中六个谱系此前以中介弯脚虎的名称被混淆描述，现分别如下：柬埔寨最高峰奥拉山特有的金边奥拉弯脚虎新种；柬埔寨波哥高原特有的波哥弯脚虎新种；来自豆蔻山脉主体区域的豆蔻弯脚虎新种；豆蔻山脉最北端山峰达赖山特有的袋趾弯脚虎新种；柬埔寨磅良喀斯特地貌特有的磅良弯脚虎新种；以及来自越南西南部七山的七山弯脚虎新种。
