A new species record of Hemiphyllodactylus lungcuensis Luu, Nguyen, Do, Pham, Hoang, Nguyen, Le, Ziegler, Grismer & Grismer, 2023 (Squamata, Gekkonidae) from Yunnan Province in China.

Background: Hemiphyllodactylus lungcuensis Luu, Nguyen, Do, Pham, Hoang, Nguyen, Le, Ziegler, Grismer & Grismer was described in 2023, based on seven specimens. Its type locality is Lung Cu Commune, Dong Van District, Ha Giang Province, in north-eastern Vietnam, near the Sino-Vietnamese border. Currently, the species is known only from the type locality; there are no records of its occurrence in China. New information: On 10 August 2025, we collected a single Hemiphyllodactylus specimen in Lida Town, Funing County, Yunnan Province, China. In the phylogenetic tree, this individual clusters with the paratypes and holotype of H. lungcuensis with strong support. The specimen from China agrees well with the original morphological description of the species and has a minor mean genetic distance of 1.9% in the ND2 gene with the type specimen of this species. Here, we report the first record of H. lungcuensis for China.
