Remarks.
Cyrtodactylus pantiensis
was first recorded in
Singapore
in 2006 as
C. quadrivirgatus
from a roadkill specimen at PT (
Lim
et al.
2016
). Several years later in 2011 and 2012, at least five more individuals were recorded in the northern and central part of the island (
Lim
et al.
2016
). A photograph of one of these individuals is shown in
Figure 12B
. After examining photos of these individuals, L.L. Grismer identified them as
C. pantiensis
constituting a southward range extension (
Grismer 2011b
) and a new species for
Singapore
(
Lim
et al.
2016
).
Occurrence.
Restricted to PT. Rare.
