Hemidactylus tenkatei Lidth de Jeude, 1895 View in CoL
Description.
Adult males (n = 2) 60.8-61.3 mm SVL, 43-30 mm TailL both regenerated; 15.7-15.8 mm HeadL; 44-45% TrunkL/SVL, 80-87% Forearm/CrusL, 26% HeadL/SVL, 75-76% HeadW/HeadL, 36-39% HeadH/HeadL, 13% SnEye/HeadL, 28-31% EyeEar/HeadL..
Natural history notes.
Collected on the outside wall of the hotel in Myeik.
General Distribution.
Myanmar, West Malaysia, Timor; although likely more widespread in South Asia.
Molecular Data.
Two specimens initially thought to be H. frenatus were placed at the base of the H. frenatus COI tree (see above), these were each placed in their own COIBIN. We then sequenced the ND2 locus (GenBank MG948675 and MG944816) for these individuals to align with the sequences from Kathriner et al. (2014). Our specimens were each placed in one of the H. tenkatei clades of Kathriner et al. (2014). See Suppl. material 1: Fig. 10 for the ND2 tree.
Comments.
Kathriner et al. (2014) have demonstrated that the Be Burmese specimens of this taxon from Yangon and Tanintharyi associate genetically with H. tenkatei from Timor and other Sundan areas.
Specimens examined.
