A new species of the genus Cyrtodactylus is described from Dien Bien Province, northwestern Vietnam based on morphological and molecular data. Cyrtodactylus ngati sp. nov. can be distinguished from remaining congeners by the following combination of characters: maximum SVL 69.3 mm; dorsal pattern consisting of six dark irregular transverse bands between limb insertions; inter-supranasals one; dorsal tubercles present on occiput, body, hind limbs and on first half of tail; 1722 irregular dorsal tubercle rows at midbody; lateral folds clearly defined, with interspersed tubercles; 3238 ventral scales between ventrolateral folds; 13 precloacal pores separated by a diastema of 5/5 poreless scales from a series of 7/7 femoral pores in enlarged femoral scales; precloacal and femoral pores absent in females; 13 postcloacal tubercles on each side; transversely enlarged median subcaudal scales absent. In the molecular analyses, the new species is shown to be the sister taxon to C. interdigitalis from Thailand. This is the 47th species of the genus Cyrtodactylus and the first member of the C. brevipalmatus species group recorded from Vietnam.
一种新的睫角守宫属物种描述于越南北部奠边省，基于形态和分子数据。睫角守宫属 ngati 新种可通过以下特征组合与其他近缘种区分开来：最大 SVL 69.3 毫米；背部图案由肢插入处之间的六个暗不规则横向带组成；鼻间鳞 1 枚；枕部、身体、后肢和尾巴的前半部分有背刺；中体有 1722 个不规则的背刺行；侧褶明显，有夹杂的刺；腹侧褶之间有 3238 个腹鳞；13 个泄殖腔前孔与一系列增大的股孔之间有 5/5 个无孔鳞片的间格，与 7/7 个股孔分开；雌性没有泄殖腔前孔和股孔；每侧有 13 个肛后刺；横向扩大的中线尾下鳞缺失。在分子分析中，新种与来自泰国的睫角守宫属 interdigitalis 为姊妹群。这是第 47 种睫角守宫属物种，也是越南记录的第一个 C. brevipalmatus 种组成员。
