(Fig. 7 A). The new species is also recorded from Danoli, Sindhudurg District, Maharashtra. The types were observed during our field survey in daytime (1600hrs), in late December. All the types were collected on trunk of moss-covered trees below ~ 2 m height, hatched and unhatched eggs were observed under tree bark (Fig 7 B). Our observations suggest that this could be an arboreal species that is active during the day. Co-occurring species found at the type locality were <i>Hemidactylus prashadi</i>, <i>Calotes</i> cf. <i>versicolor</i>, <i>Ahaetulla nasuta</i> and <i>Boiga</i> sp.</p> <p> <b>Etymology.</b> Named for the Rangana region of the Kolhapur District, Maharashtra, India from where the type series was collected.</p>Published as part of <i>Sayyed, Amit & Sulakhe, Shauri, 2020, A new Cnemaspis Strauch, 1887 (Squamata: Gekkonidae) from the northern Western Ghats, Maharashtra, India, pp. 83-98 in Zootaxa 4885 (1)</i> on pages 85-89, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4885.1.5, <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/4296413">http://zenodo.org/record/4296413</a&gt
