Cyrtodactylus wakeorum is a species of bent-toed gecko, a lizard in the family Gekkonidae. The species is endemic to Myanmar.
The specific name, wakeorum (genitive plural), is in honor of American herpetologists David Burton Wake and Marvalee Hendricks Wake, husband and wife.[2]
C. wakeorum was discovered in 2001 in Myanmar's Rakhine Yoma Elephant Range and described in 2003.[3][4]
Small for its genus, C. wakeorum may attain a snout-to-vent length (SVL) of 6.4 cm (2.5 in).[4]
