During field work on Hon Son Island, we discovered a new species of the genus Cyrtodactylus inferred from genetic and morphological evidence. Phylogenetic analyses based mitochondrial gene ND2, delimit borgattaorum sp. nov. as in C. intermedius group strongly supported sister phuquocensis both Bayesian inference Maximum Likelihood analyses. The is distinguished all other members by having combination 12 supralabials; 10 or 11 infralabials; 22 23 small, rounded, smooth, paravertebral tubercles; rows longitudinally arranged body 35–39 ventrals; 8–10 expanded subdigital lamellae, 13 unexpanded 21 total lamellae fourth toe; enlarged femorals; 8 9 precloacals; precloacal pores males; three post-precloacals; postcloacal femorals precloacals not continuous; proximal nearly same size distal tubercles greatly reduced; no pocketing between digits hands feet; two dark-colored pigmented blotches top head; four dorsal bands lacking lightened centers, thinner than light-colored interspaces bands, bordered prominent white dark markings bands; limbs bearing six caudal bands. lives syntopy with eisenmanae which first record granite cave dwelling Cyrtodactylus.
