Remarks. Cyrtodactylus pantiensis was first recorded in Singapore in 2006 as C. quadrivirgatus from a roadkill specimen at PT ( Lim et al. 2016). Several years later in 2011 and 2012, at least five more individuals were recorded in the northern and central part of the island ( Lim et al. 2016). A photograph of one of these individuals is shown in Figure 12B View FIGURE 12 . After examining photos of these individuals, L.L. Grismer identified them as C. pantiensis constituting a southward range extension ( Grismer 2011b) and a new species for Singapore ( Lim et al. 2016).

Occurrence. Restricted to PT. Rare.

Singapore conservation status. Critically Endangered.

Conservation priority. Highest.
