Using an integrative taxonomic approach including genetic and morphological data, we formally describe a new microendemic gecko species belonging to the clade, previously referred to as D. We name this taxon currently known from Anja Reserve and Tsaranoro Valley Forest (south-central Madagascar), as The new species differs from other species of the clade by ≥ 12.4% uncorrected -distance at the mitochondrial 16S rRNA gene and it forms a monophyletic group in the COI mtDNA phylogenetic tree.
