The taxonomy of <i>Cyrtodactylusconsobrinus</i> (Peters, 1871) (Squamata, Gekkonidae) and the description of a new species from the Thai-Malay Peninsula.

ABSTRACT: Phylogenetic analyses based on 1459 base pairs of the mitochondrial gene ND2 and its flanking tRNAs indicate that Cyrtodactylusconsobrinus from the type locality in Sarawak, East Malaysia (Borneo) and C.consobrinus from Peninsular Malaysia are not conspecific. Both populations as well as C.hutan from East Malaysia form a strongly supported monophyletic group even though their relationships to one another remain unresolved. Cyrtodactylusconsobrinus from peninsular Malaysia is described herein as the new species C.peninsularis sp. nov. whose type locality is Gunung Belumut, Johor State. Cyrtodactyluspeninsularis sp. nov. is diagnosable from all other species in the malayanus group by having statistically different morphospatial p
