Materials examined. Seroja Camp (04°39.415′N, 101° 16.333′E), 4 July 2019 (GKR019; HC1020).

Identification. Body moderately robust; digits relatively short and slender, inflected; pupils elliptical, small; body smooth with very small, low tubercles from nap to base of tail; transversely enlarged, median subcaudal scales absent; tail prehensile, squarish in cross-section; fine, spiny fringe on tail; body brown to beige with darker irregular patches on nape and back; thin, short, pale postorbital stripe; limbs without bands; tail with dark bands anteriorly; iris silver. These characters are in agreement with Grismer (2011).

Remarks. Two individuals were found near Seroja in a patch of forest dominated by bamboo. One individual was observed on a bamboo trunk approximately 1 m above ground, while the other was found on a slender branch of a sapling approximately 3 m above ground. Specimen GKR019 was a gravid female bearing two eggs.
