Specimens were found on the slopes of Mount Victoria between elevations of 709 m and 1,940 m in areas of secondary forest in close proximity to human habitation. The new species differs from P. gularis, by having a more developed nuchal crest, shorter limbs, larger and more heterogeneous dorsal body scales, and a shorter tail. P. phuwuanensis can be distinguished from P. gularis and the new species by the presence of femoral pores and a distinct gular region. A molecular phylogenetic analysis of P. gularis, P. phuwuanensis, the new species of Ptyctolaemus from Chin State, and other species in the draconine clade indicates that the P. phuwuanensis is sister to all other draconine agamids and we recommend the recognition of the genus name Mantheyus for P. phuwuanensis in light of these results. Ptyctolaemus from Chin State and P. gularis are related but significantly different genetically and morphologically representing separate species.} }
