Hemidactylus platyurus (Schneider, 1792)

Material examined. – LSUHC 7853 : Che Teal Chrum, 8 Aug.2006 .

Remarks. – A broken tail was recovered from a mis-capture of a specimen 2 m up on the side of a tree in the forested area surrounding Che Teal Chrum Village. It is identified as belonging to Hemidactylus platyurus (fide Carranza & Arnold, 2006) and not H. craspedotus in that the fringe on the tail is one-quarter the width of the body of the tail whereas in H. craspedotus the fringe is equal to the width of the body of the tail. The morphology of LSUHC 7853 matches that of the tails of LSUHC 7323–24 from the northeastern Cardamoms and additional material from West Malaysia (LSUHC 3874, 5564, 6430, 6636, 6732, 7146, 8230). The tail was compared to the tails of seven H. craspedotus , (LSUHC 4754, 5080–81, 5613, 6316, 6330, 6672) from West Malaysia.
