Remarks :

We discovered Cnemaspis rajabasa from Mt. Rajabasa, southern Sumatra, Indonesia. The new species is the first Cnemaspis reported from Sumatra. We tentatively assign the new species to the Cnemaspis kendallii group of the Southern Sunda clade of recent phylogenetic analyses. This species is found on the southern slopes of Gunung Rajabasa lies in the extreme southeast portion of the Lampung Province from 425–430m a.s.l.

Etymology:
The specific epithet is an invariable noun in apposition and refers to Gunung (Mount) Rajabasa, the volcano inhabited by this species at the extreme Southern tip of Sumatra.

English name: Rajabasa Day Gecko
