Abstract
We describe a new species of lizard of the genus Pseudocalotes from Bukit L arut in the state of Perak, West Malaysia. This represents the third specie s of Pseudocalotes known from the Malay peninsula. In scale counts and body proportions, it is most similar to P. floweri from Thailand and Cambodia, but it differs from that species in characteristics of the head squamation and in the shape of the subdigital scales of the third toe.
