Species Distribution and Climate Change

This paper describes a new species of the genus Cyrtodactylus . Cyrtodactylus caovansungi sp. nov. occuring in the Ninh Thuan Province (South Vietnam). It can be distinguished from all other Cyrtodactylus species distributed in Vietnam by a male with well developed nine V-shaped preanal pores. There are 8 enlarged femoral scales on each side; however femoral pores are present only on three of them, located closer to the knee bend. Roundish-triangular dorsal tubercles with well keels are placed at 16 – 18 not regular longitudinal rows.
