Key to the species of Cnemaspis View in CoL in northern Western Ghats

1) Cnemaspis goaensis View in CoL

Dorsal scales on body heterogeneous; gulars weakly carinate; pre-anal and femoral pores present in males; subcaudals slightly enlarged and smooth (Sharma RC 1976; Manamendra-Arachchi et al. 2007).

2) Cnemaspis kolhapurensis View in CoL

Dorsal scales homogenous, small and feebly keeled; no spine-like tubercles on flanks; a continuous series of 24–28 precloacal-femoral pores (Giri et al. 2009).

3) Cnemaspis girii View in CoL

Dorsal scales heterogeneous; large scales on the dorsal part of body smooth; keeled conical tubercles on flank; males with four femoral pores ( Mirza et al. 2014).

4) Cnemaspis flaviventralis View in CoL

Dorsal scales heterogeneous; large keeled conical tubercles on flanks; three pairs of postmentals; without a series of enlarged median sub-caudal scales; males with three femoral pores ( Sayyed et al. 2016).

5) Cnemaspis limayei View in CoL sp. nov.

Dorsal scales on body heterogeneous; conical and spine-like tubercles absent on flank, almost homogeneous; pre-anal scales large than ventral; males with four- five femoral pores; sub-caudals not enlarged.

6) Cnemaspis ajijae View in CoL sp. nov.

Dorsal scales on body heterogeneous; granular keeled scales intermixed with large keeled depressed scales; conical and spine-like tubercles absent on flank; three pairs of postmentals; males with three or four femoral pores.

7) Cnemaspis amboliensis View in CoL sp. nov.

Dorsal scales on body heterogeneous; granular, conical and spine-like tubercles on flank; scales on snout feebly keeled; dorsal scales of the forelimb and hindlimb tricarinate; three or four pre-anal pores and three to four femoral pores on each side of the thigh.

8) Cnemaspis mahabali View in CoL sp. nov.

Dorsal scales on body heterogeneous; conical and spine-like tubercles absent on the flank; scales on ventral part of neck feebly carinate; dorsal scales of the forelimb and hindlimb strongly keeled; three femoral pores on each side.
