A new species of karst dwelling gecko, Cnemaspis biocellata sp. nov. is described from the border region in the Satun Province of southern Thailand and the state of Perlis in northern Peninsular Malaysia. Cnemaspis biocellata sp. nov. is differentiated from all other species of Southeast Asian Cnemaspis by having a maximum SVL of 40.1 mm; 6–10 supralabials; 5–7 infralabials; weakly keeled scales on anterior portion of forearm; smooth ventral scales; no femoral pores; 8–12 precloacal pores; smooth subcaudals with an enlarged median row; one or two cloacal tubercles; 29–37 subdigital lamellae on fourth toe; no dark bands encircling tail; two distinct, white, well defined, occipital ocelli; a black occipital band bordering a series of closely spaced, large, white to yellow spots which form a nuchal band and a small, black shoulder patch enclosing a single white to yellow ocellus. This species is restricted to the karst formations of the Nakawan Range spanning the Thai-Malaysian border and has been misidentified as C. siamensis by previous authors.

A new species of gekkoind lizard, Cnemaspis perhentianensis sp. nov., is described from Pulau Perhentian Besar, 21 km off the east coast of the state of Terengganu, Peninsular Malaysia. Cnemaspis perhentianensis is differentiated from all other Southeast Asian Cnemaspis in having a maximum SVL of 47.2 mm; the scales of the anterior portion of the forearm are keeled; the ventral scales are weakly keeled; there are no femoral pores; eight preanal pores; there is no linearly arranged row of tubercles on the flanks; there are paravertebral, longitudinal rows of caudal tubercles and lateral caudal rows anteriorly; the keeled subcaudals lack an enlarged median row; there are no large, shield-like subtibial or submetatarsal scales; 28–31 subdigital lamellae are on the fourth toe; distinct, large, dark spots occur on the neck and back that alternate with transverse, white markings; and there are white markings on flanks that alternate with dark blotches.

A New Species

A new species of the gekkonid lizard, Cytrodactylus macrotuberculatus sp. nov., is described from Pulau Langkawi of the Langkawi Archipelago located off the northwest coast of Peninsular Malaysia in the state of Kedah. This species had been previously recognized as C. pulchellus but is differentiated here from that species and all other Sunda Shelf Cyrtodactylus on the basis of its strong tuberculation and other scale and color pattern characteristics. This represents the second endemic species known from the Langkawi Archipelago.

A New Species

A new, montane species of Ansonia is described from the state of Pahang in central, peninsular Malaysia on the basis of having a unique combination of head, body, digit, and color pattern characteristics. This new species is similar to A. malayana, to which it is closest geographically, but differs greatly in aspects of head morphology and body tuberculation. A review of Ansonia from the Malay Peninsula demonstrates that the population of A. malayana from Tasan, Chumphon Province, Thailand is A. kraensis and A. penangensis from Ulu Tahan, Pahang in peninsular Malaysia is not conspecific with A. penangensis from Pulau Penang but an additional, undescribed species ranging throughout northwestern, peninsular Malaysia.

Ardisia gasingoides Julius & Utteridge sp. nov. (Primulaceae-Myrsinoideae) is described and illustrated as a new species; it is endemic to the state of Johor from southern Peninsular Malaysia. The new species belongs to subgenus Stylardisia and is morphologically similar to Ardisia cockburniana, A. crassa and A. crassiuscula in having obconically flared and thickened pedicels but differs in smaller leaves with fewer veins, few flowers in shorter inflorescences and, especially, the 5-sided turbinate fruits. A preliminary conservation status and key to related taxa are provided.

A new species of forest dwelling Rock Gecko, Cnemaspis roticanai sp. nov., is described from the upper elevations of Gunung Raya, Pulau Langkawi, Kedah, Peninsular Malaysia. Cnemaspis roticanai is the second species of Cnemaspis described from Pulau Langkawi and is differentiated from all other Southeast Asian Cnemaspis in having a unique combination of color pattern and scale characteristics including keeled subtibials, ventrals, subcaudals, dorsal tubercles, and forearm scales; 25–27 paravertebral tubercles; a median row of enlarged, keeled subcaudals; five or six precloacal, pore-bearing scales in males separated medially by one or two non-pore-bearing scales; 26–29 subdigital lamellae on the fourth toe; no dark, longitudinal gular markings or blotches; no dark shoulder patch enclosing a white to yellow ocellus; and having a yellow to white, prescapular crescent. Cnemaspis roticanai is the latest species in a growing list of new taxa being discovered from the Langkawi Archipelago.

A New Species

Rhacophorus reinwardtii from Southern Thailand and Peninsular Malaysia is found to be morphologically distinct from Javan and Bornean populations and is herein described as a new species. Rhacophorus norhayatii sp nov. can be differentiated from R. reinwardtii by having a larger maximum SVL in males (64.7 mm vs. 55 mm); lacking spots on dorsum; higher degree of interdigital web pigmentation on hands and feet; and rusty brown markings on the flanks. This study adds to the growing list of taxonomic changes in Sunda Shelf taxa by demonstrating that species previously thought to be widely distributed across Sundaland are indeed distinct lineages worthy of species recognition.

Melastoma kemamanense is here described as a new species. It is characterised by broad, scabrid leaves, twigs with closely appressed scales, flowers in compact cymes, and anisomorphic stamens. It is similar to Melastoma imbricatum but differs from it by the thickly overlapping hypanthium scales and larger mature fruits. This new species is so far only known from northeast Peninsular Malaysia.

A new species of microhylid frog of the genus Gastrophrynoides is described from Gunung Besar Hantu, in the state of Negeri Sembilan, adding a new generic record to the family Microhylidae of Peninsular Malaysia and an additional species to the previously monotypic genus Gastrophrynoides. This new species can be distinguished from its only congener, G. borneensis by having an immaculate, grayish brown dorsum (instead of a spotted one); a longer snout (2.6–3.0 vs. 2.0–2.5 times diameter of eye); and a single, large, oval outer metacarpal tubercle beneath the hand (instead of smaller, paired, rectangular outer metacarpal tubercles in G. borneensis).

A new species of gekkonid lizard of the genus Cnemaspis Strauch 1887 is described from the state of Selangor, Peninsular Malaysia. Cnemaspis flavigaster sp nov. differs from all other species of Cnemaspis in Peninsular Malaysia by having the following combination of characters: maximum SVL of 50.1 mm, a series of distinct black dorsal spots, 29–34 subdigital lamellae on 4 th toe, no femoral pores, smooth ventral scales, median subcaudal scales not enlarged or keeled, and an orange belly. This brings the total number of species of Cnemaspis in Peninsular Malaysia to nine.
