Coloration in preservative.
Head olive-brown dorsally, labials and ciliaries with a pattern of light and dark mottling; a broad olive-brown stripe from nostril to anterior eye; neck with a triangular, blackish-olive, darkly bordered spot; broad, olive-brown postocular stripe to neck; throat yellow.
Variation.
The new species is sexually dimorphic with pores present in males that are lacking in females (
Fig.5B
). Four of the
paratypes
have original tails, and based on these it can be seen that caudal tubercles distally graduate to smaller size, disappearing at 71 % of the original tail length. For other detailed measurements and detailed character states for the entire
type
series see Table 1.
Etymology.
The specific name
tanahjampea
refers to Tanahjampea Island, the only locality at which this species is known to occur.
Natural history.
Specimens were collected at night in secondary forest (
Fig.6
) and selectively logged forest on a variety of natural microhabitats including on boulders/rock-faces adjacent to running and dry stream-beds, on large tree stumps, and on the trunks of large trees. Specimens were also collected on a concrete bridge foundation and on a concrete rock wall immediately adjacent to secondary forest.
Species comparisons.
Cyrtodactylus tanahjampea
sp. nov.
can be readily distinguished from all recognized congeners occurring on
Sulawesi
, the
Moluccas
, and the
Lesser Sunda Islands
(detailed diagnostic characters for the species from these regions are presented in
Table 2
) except for
C. halmahericus
(
Mertens, 1929
)
from which it differs by possessing EPFS, PP*, FP*, and in lacking enlarged median subcaudal scales on original tails (characters that are occur on males only are donated by *). The new species is easily differentiated from
C. halmahericus
by having strongly keeled dorsal tubercles (vs. keeled tubercles), fewer EPFS (40–45 vs. 48–53), precloacofemoral pores* (28–34 vs. 48–53) and in lacking a precloacal depression as opposed to having a deep precloacal groove. Further, it differs from
C. deveti
in its much smaller body size (76.1 vs.
106 mm
SVL) and in lacking enlarged transverse median subcaudal scales (as opposed to presence of enlarged transverse median subcaudal scales). The new species is also easily distinguished from
C. nuaulu
by having EPFS as opposed to presence of EPS, PFP* as opposed to presence of PP*, and in males lacking a precloacal depression as opposed to having a deep precloacal groove. Among the recognized species occurring in the
Sulawesi
region,
Cyrtodactylus tanahjampea
is similar to
C. fumosus
(data from
Mecke
et al.
2016b
) in body size (<
80 mm
SVL), in having of precloacofemoral pores in a continuous series, and in having a blotched dorsal pattern, but differs from that species in the presence of tubercles in the ventrolateral folds, in lacking a precloacal depression, in having more DorsT (20–23
vs.
4–7), and in having fewer VentS (28–34 vs. 37–50). Further, these species are also readily differentiated in the arrangement of their chin shields, with
C. tanahjampea
having paired elongated primary postmentals that contact medially for 50% of their posterior sections as opposed to having ~70% contact posteromedially in
C. fumosus
. The new species differs from
C. batik
(data from
Iskandar
et al.
2011
; reexamine specimens
see
appendix 1) in being much smaller (76.1 vs.
114.6 mm
), in having a blotched as opposed to a banded dorsal color pattern, in having fewer VentS (28–34 vs. 48–57), by the presence of EPFS (vs. lack of EPFS), PFP* (vs. poreless), and in lack enlarged transversely median subcaudal scales (as opposed to presence of enlarged transversely median subcaudals). The new species differs from
C. hitchi
in having tubercles on the dorsal surface of the brachium as opposed to the brachium untuberculated, EPFS as opposed to presence of EPS, PFP* as opposed to poreless both on precloacal and femoral, blotched as opposed to banded, and in lacking enlarged transverse median subcaudals as opposed to transversely median subcaudals arranged in a single row.
Cyrtodactylus tanahjampea
is further differentiated from
C. jellesmae
by having pores, EPFS, fewer VentS (28–34 vs. 40–50), and a blotched as opposed to striped dorsal pattern. It differs from
C. tahuna
in having EPFS and PFP* as opposed to a discontinuous series of EPS–EFS and a discontinuous series of PP*–FP*. From
C. spinosus
, the new species can be distinguished by its smaller body size (76.1 vs.
83.2 mm
), its lack of spine-like tubercles scattered over the dorsum, in having PFP* and in lacking a precloacal depression. The new species differs from
C. wallacei
by its much smaller size (76.1 vs.
114 mm
), by having PFP* as opposed to lacking pores, and in lacking enlarged transversely median subcaudal scales. The new species differs from all recognized species occuring in the Lesser Sundas in having a continuous series of precloacal and femoral pores in males.
Cyrtodactylus tanahjampea
differs from all species from this region except
C. darmandvillei
by having tubercles on the dorsal sufaces of the brachium. The new species can easily be distinguished from
C. celatus
(data from
Kathriner
et al.
2014
,
Rösler & Kaiser 2016
, and
Mecke
et al.
2016a
) by its much larger body size (76.1 vs.
38–44 mm
), in having EPFS, in the absence of a precloacal depression as opposed to presence of a precloacal groove in males, and in having more lamellae under the fourth toe (18–23 vs. 15–18). From
C. darmandvillei
(data from Mecke
et al.
2016), the new species differs by lacking enlarged transverse median subcaudals as opposed to having enlarged transverse median subcaudals, and in having pores in males as opposed to being poreless in both sexes. From
C. gordongekkoi
(data from
Das 1993
,
Biswas 2007
, and
Mecke
et al.
2016a
), the new species differs by the presence of tubercles on the dorsal surface of the brachium as opposed to absence and having precloacofemoral pores in males as opposed to being poreless in both sexes. From
C. laevigatus
(data from
Kathriner
et al.
2014
and
Mecke
et al.
2016a
), the new species differs in its much larger body size (76.1 vs.
38.5 mm
) and in having precloacofemoral pores in males as opposed to no pores in either sex. From
C. tambora
, the new species differs in its larger body size (76.1 vs.
39.4 mm
), having precloacofemoral pores in males as opposed to presence of only precloacal pores in males, and in lacking a precloacal depression as opposed to presence of a precloacal groove in males. From
C. wetariensis
(
Dunn, 1927
)
(data from
Mecke
et al.
2016a
), the new species differs by having the brachium tuberculated as opposed to lacking tubercles on the dorsal surface of the brachium and by having precloacal pores and femoral pores arranged in a continuous series in males as opposed to being discontinuously arranged.
We also compare the new species to the other congeners occuring west and east of the Wallacea region. Enlarged precloacofemoral scales are present in
Cyrtodactylus tanahjampea
, whereas

TABLE 2.
Characters used to distinguish
Cyrtodactylus
species occurring on Sulawesi, the Moluccas, and the Lesser Sunda Islands. The presence of a diagnostic character is coded as ʻ1ʼ, the absence of a character is coded as ʻ0.ʼ For taxa possessing precloacofemoral scales (= scales in a continuous series; column entitled ‘7’), precloacal- and femoral scales (separated from each other by infrascales) are coded as ‘n/a’ (columns entitled ‘5’ and ‘6’). Numbers at the head of the table correspond to characters as follows: 1 = tubercles on upper arm (brachium), 2 = number of ventral scales, 3 = transversely enlarged median subcaudals in original tails, 4 = number of subdigital scales/lamellae under 4th toe, 5 = enlarged precloacal scales (the number of pores is given in parentheses and includes primordia; if pores are present in one sex only, this is indicated either by ‘ϐ’ or ʻ♀ʼ), 6 = enlarged femoral scales (the number of pores is given in parentheses and includes primordia; if pores are present in one sex only, this is indicated either by ‘ϐ’ or ʻ♀ʼ), 7 = enlarged precloacofemoral scales (the number of pores is given in parentheses and includes primordia; if pores are present in males only, this is indicated by ‘ϐ’), 8 = precloacal and femoral pores in a continuous series, 9 = expression of precloacal depression (N = no depression, G = groove, P = pit; if a depression is present in males only, this is indicated by ‘ϐ’), 10 = pattern of dorsum (bd = banded; bl = blotched; mo = mottled; pl = patternless; st = striped), 11 = data derived from literature sources are abbreviated by letters as follows: A = this publication, B = Riyanto
