Sri Lankan members of the gecko genus Cnemaspis Strauch, 1887 have recently been reviewed and redescribed (Wickramasinghe & Munindradasa 2007; Manamendra-Arachchi et al. 2007). The endemic species Cnemaspis podihuna was first described by P. E. P. Deraniyagala in 1944 from LahugalaMaha Oya area in Eastern Province based on five specimens (holotype and four paratypes). Deraniyagala (1944) clearly stated “Type An adult male (fig. I) with the distal half of the tail broken off. Length; tail (incomplete) 18 mm. The specimen is in the Colombo Museum.” He also mentioned “Paratypes An adult female measuring 25 mm. from snout tip to cloaca (tail missing), a half grown specimen, and two young ones.” The original description includes a figure of C. podihuna (see Amarasinghe et al., 2009 for the original figure and original description); this is almost certainly intended to be of the type based on the fact that the figure shows precloacal and femoral pores, a feature restricted to mature male Cnemaspis, and on the basis that the holotype was the only adult male noted by Deraniyagala. Deraniyagala (1953) subsequently provided the same information again in his book-length treatment of the lizards of Sri Lanka.
