We describe a new species of Cyrtodactylus from Guwahati city in the state of Assam, India and provide additional data on the recently described Cyrtodactylus guwahatiensis. Cyrtodactylus urbanus sp. nov. falls in the newly defined khasiensis group within the Indo-Burma clade of Cyrtodactylus and is the poorly supported sister taxon to Cyrtodactylus khasiensis. The new species differs from other members of the khasiensis group in mitochondrial sequence data (12.5-17.1 % uncorrected pairwise ND2 sequence divergence) as well as aspects of morphology including the number and arrangement of precloacal pores in males, the number of mid-ventral scales and paravertebral tubercles, and colour pattern. This is the second Cyrtodactylus endemic to the Guwahati region, the fourth from Assam and the twelfth from Northeast India.
我们描述了一种来自印度阿萨姆邦古瓦哈蒂市的弯脚虎属新物种，并提供了关于最近描述的古瓦哈蒂弯脚虎的更多数据。城市弯脚虎新种属于弯脚虎属印度-缅甸分支中新定义的卡西弯脚虎组，是卡西弯脚虎支持率较低的姐妹分类单元。新物种在线粒体序列数据（未校正的成对ND2序列差异为12.5 - 17.1%）以及形态学方面与卡西弯脚虎组的其他成员不同，包括雄性泄殖腔前孔的数量和排列、腹中线鳞片和椎旁瘤的数量以及颜色图案。这是古瓦哈蒂地区特有的第二种弯脚虎，是阿萨姆邦的第四种，也是印度东北部的第十二种。
