Diagnosis Dixonius hangseesom may be distinguished from non-congeneric leaf-toed geckos on the basis of the possession of precloacal pores by males and by the unique configuration of the phalanges of the manus. It may be diagnosed from D. siamensis by its smaller size (maxi- mum 42 mm vs 57 mm; Manthey and Gross- mann, 1997) and presence of a bold dark stripe through the eye, cross-banded or reticu- late dor

It may be diagnosed from D. siamensis by its smaller size (maxi- mum 42 mm vs 57 mm; Manthey and Gross- mann, 1997) and presence of a bold dark stripe through the eye, cross-banded or reticu- late dorsal pattern, and an orange-colored tail (in life). It is also distinguished by its more irregular (with dorsal tubercles sometimes scattered on flanks and often with keels oriented obhquely to body axis) and partly imbricating dorsal scalation (vs smaller, regu- lar, non-overlapping, more conical tubercles) and broader terminal scansors (approximately twice mid-digital toe width vs times mid- digital toe width). These features would also diagnose the new species from D. paviei and D. burmanicus, should future research revali- date these Fig. 3. Living specimen of adult male Dixo- nius hangseesom, sp. nov. from Sai Yok, Kancha- naburi Province, Thailand. Note the bright orange tail, crossbanded dorsal pattern and dark markings on sides of head.
