A new species of the poorly known genus Colubroelaps Orlov, Kharin, Ananjeva, Nguyen & Nguyen, 2009, is described based on a single female specimen collected from Hon Tre Island, Khanh Hoa Province, Vietnam. The species, adleri sp. nov. , can be distinguished its sister nguyenvansangi 2009 by following combination morphological characters: small body size (TL 402 mm); tail relatively short (ratio TaL/TL 0.10); dorsal scales in 14–14–14 rows; supralabials six, third and fourth entering orbit; infralabials seven; loreal present; ventral 234; subcaudals 30, all divided; cloacal plate coloration pale brown, with narrow interrupted dark stripe along spine; flanks dark-gray lacking bluish iridescence; ventrally uniform off-white; head black rostral, nasals, prefrontals, preoculars, loreal, two anterior supralabials, as well parts supraoculars frontal dirty yellowish-brown dark-brown spots. This discovery represents second first record coastal areas southern-central likely micro-endemic to island within Nha Trang Bay Vietnam, at an elevation 30 m a.s.l., was recorded only heavily disturbed secondary forest area island. under threat due intensifying development tourist infrastructure Island. We suggest that considered Endangered (EN) IUCN’s Red List categories.

We describe a new species of the Cyrtodactylus irregularis complex based on six adult specimens from Phu Cat District, Binh Dinh Province, Vietnam. binhdinhensis sp. nov. is morphologically distinguished remaining congeners C. group by combination following characteristics: Size medium (SVL up to 80.4 mm); nasal scales 4; internasal single; ventral in 39–42 longitudinal rows at midbody; ventrolateral folds present or absent without interspersed tubercles; precloacal pores 6 7 males; 5 enlarged femoral each thigh; 10 postcloacal tubercles 2–4; lamellae under toe IV 18–21; dorsal pattern consisting slightly clear transverse banding formed shaped dark brown bands, continuous neckband with U-shape triangle shape middle, head surface small blotches; subcaudal transversely enlarged. In phylogenetic analyses, recovered as sister taxon badenensis approximately 15.34–16.15% genetic divergence between two fragment COI gene.
