基于形态、颜色模式和线粒体基因 ND2 的综合分类学分析发现了四种新的 Hemiphyllodactylus Blecker 物种，它们是缅甸东部掸邦高原或萨尔温江盆地的特有种。 Hemiphyllodactylus ngwelwini sp.十一月掸邦高原的 H. zwegabinensis sp. nov. 和萨尔温江盆地的 H. zwegabinensis sp. nov. 组成了一个全新的缅甸林地，本文称为南谱系。尽管在掸邦，南北谱系彼此相差 46 个亲缘以内。它们不是姐妹谱系，而是由来自泰国西北部的两个谱系分开，是在萨尔温江盆地记录到的第一个物种，仅在克伦邦喀斯特山的风吹云林中发现。这四个新物种使缅甸半叶指龙的总数达到至少 10 种，考虑到我们在调查的每个高地地区都发现了新物种，这无疑是对该属多样性的极大低估。
An integrative taxonomic analysis based on morphology, color pattern, and the mitochondrial gene ND2 recovered four new species of Hemiphyllodactylus Blecker that arc endemic to the Shan Plateau or Salween Basin in eastern Myanmar. Hemiphyllodactylus ngwelwini sp. nov. from the Shan Plateau is part of the earlier described "eastern Myanmar Glade renamed herein as the north lineage and H. kyaiktiyoensis sp. nov. and H. pinlaungensis sp. nov. of the Shan Plateau and H. zwegabinensis sp. nov. of the Salween Basin compose an entirely new Burmese Glade herein referred to as the south lineage. Although the north and south lineages come within 46 kin of one another on the Shan Plateau, they arc not sister lineages but sequentially separated by two lineages from Yunnan, China and another from northwestern Thailand. Hemiphyllodactylus zwegabinensis sp. nov. is the first species of this genus to be recorded from the Salween Basin and is known only from a wind-blown cloud forest on the top of the insular, karstic mountain Zwegabin in Kayin State. All other Burmese species except for H. typus, are endemic to the various localities throughout the Shan Plateau. These four new species bring the total number of Hemiphyllodactylus in Myanmar to at least 10 which is certainly an extreme underestimate of the diversity of this genus given that we discover new species at every upland locality we survey.
