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. 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).
