Family Aphanodactylidae View in CoL

The male gonopore opens on the sternum, rather far from the P5 coxa, near the anterior margin of sternite 8 but distant from suture 7/ 8 in Aphanodactylus loimiae Konishi & Noda, 1999 , and Gustavus mecognathus Ahyong & Ng, 2009 ( Ahyong & Ng 2009a: 35, figs. 1F, G, 4I), although apparently adjacent to suture 7/ 8 in Aphanodactylus panglao Ng & Naruse, 2009 (Ng & Naruse 2009: fig. 3c); it was not described in Takedactylus masastunei Naruse & Maenosono, 2012 ( Naruse & Maenosono 2012).
