Abstract
A new country record of the Bent-toed Gecko, Cyrtodactylus leegrismeri Chan and Norhayati, 2010 for Thailand was reported based on three specimens collected from Kra Island, Nakhon Si Thammarat Province (southern Thailand). Previously, the species’ known distribution was from islands in the Gulf of Thailand ranging from Malaysia to Vietnam. The present work reports an additional locality which lies between the northern-most and southern-most ranges of its distribution and is approximately 550 kilometers away from the type locality (Tenggol Island Resort, Pulau Tenggol, Terengganu, Peninsular Malaysia).

Keywords: Cyrtodactylus condorensis species complex, new record, Kra Island, Nakhon Si Thammarat, Gulf of Thailand.
