Both holotype and paratype specimens were preserved in 95% ethanol and deposited in RUZM (Razi University Zoological Museum). Some of their characters differ significantly from those of the other three species of Carinatogecko (see below). The two unknown specimens were compared with the other three species of Carinatogecko (i.e., C. heteropholis , C. aspratilis , and C. stevenandersoni ) as well as with the genus Bunopus ( B. tuberculatus ; Tables 1-2; Material examined).
