Cyrtodactylus species groups in Laos

As currently recognized, 21 Cyrtodactylus species are known from Laos. Based on our molecular phylogeny, the molecular data presented in Nazarov et al. (2014), and a combination of characters including size, dorsal color pattern, scalation, and geographic distribution, we herein propose four species groups within the genus Cyrtodactylus occurring in Laos (see Table 13 ), which are defined as follows:
