| description | Three
s
pe
cies
of
the
gekkonid
genus
Cnemaspis,
on
e
of
them
new,
are
shown
to
occur
on
Borneo.
The
ranges
of
the
species
appear
to
hug
the
north
-wes
tern
coast
of
Borneo,
all
species
being
recorded
from
Sarawak
State,
East
Malaysia.
Such
a
distribution
is
similar
to
that
reported
for
a
lineage
of
the
Dipterocarpaceae
,
with
affinities
in
peninsular
Malaya
and
the
Rhiau
Archipelago.
It
is
thought
that
the
present
day
distribution
of
the
gekkonids
may
be
influenced
by
the
drainage
of
the
ancient
river
basins
of
Sundaland
which
p
r
esumably
stopped
their
dispersal
into
central
and
eastern
Borneo |
