Paratypes: Z1L 20311-20315. 204-21. 20422, 20479-20481: ZMK Re 22. 23a (7 males. 6 females). Same data as for holotype. Etymology: The species name derives from the Greek word "paradoxes" - unusual, strange: in the present case referring to the lack of femoral and prea- nal pores. Diagnosis: A medium-sized species of Gonydactylus with an adult body size of 45-84 mm in SVL: no prea- nal groove, no preanal and femoral pores in males or females; enlarged femoral scales distinct: 26-36 mid- ventral scale rows between indistinct lateral folds; 17- 23 subdigital lamellae under fourth toe; a median series of transversely widened subcaudal scales; irreg- ular crossbands on the dorsum. Description of the holotype: Adult male. 80 mm SVL; 95 mm TL; head oviform; forehead concave; snout obtusely pointed; ear opening oval; eye with vertical Gekko-type pupil; rostral large, quadrangular, partially split by a median vertical cleft, contacting nostrils, first upper labials and three enlarged interna- sals; first upper labial, two postnasals, supranasal and rostral forming border of nostril; scales on snout three or more times larger than on occiput or interorbital area; approximately 44 granules between palpebral borders of eyelids at the middle of the orbits; granules on the back of the head intermixed with few small conical scales; 10/9 supralabials; mental triangular with labial border wider than labial border of rostral; 9/9 lower labials; one large pair of postmental about 1/2 the size of the first; four gular scales bordering first postmentals between second postmentals fol- lowed by small gular granules.
