Six species of geckos in the genus Goniurosaurus have been recorded from Guangxi, China. Here we describe a new species, Goniurosaurus chengzheng sp. nov. The new species is similar to allied species from Guangxi, but unique in a combination of the following characters: (1) four body bands with three between limb insertions; (2) precloacal pores 20; (3) body color reddish- brown; (4) snout to eye distance: eye to ear distance 1. We used the mitochondrial genes 16S and cytb to confirm the distinctiveness of the species and place it within a molecular phylogeny of Goniurosaurus. The type specimens are deposited in the Museum of Biology, East China Normal University (ECNU).
中国广西已记录到 6 种壁虎属的壁虎。本文描述了一个新种，即程氏壁虎（Goniurosaurus chengzheng sp. nov.）。该新种与广西的相关种相似，但具有以下独特的组合特征：（1）四条体带，三条位于肢插入之间；（2）泄殖腔孔 20 个；（3）身体颜色红棕色；（4）吻端到眼的距离：眼到耳的距离 1。我们使用线粒体基因 16S 和 cytb 来确认该物种的独特性，并将其置于壁虎属的分子系统发育中。模式标本保存在华东师范大学生物博物馆（ECNU）。
