Six new Cyrtodactylus (Squamata: Gekkonidae) from northeast India [PDF]

Zootaxa, 2018
We use mitochondrial sequence data to identify divergent lineages within the gekkonid genus Cyrtodactylus in northeast India and use morphological data to describe six new species from within the Indo-Burma clade of Cyrtodactylus. The new species share an irregular colour pattern but differ from described species from the region in morphology and ...
