MFA of the Sphenomorphus stellatus complex after Quah and Grismer (2025). The placement of the single specimen of S. striatafaucim aligns with its phylogenetic separation from all other species in the group. However, this is not the case with S. phuquocensis, although it was phylogenetically distinct and well-separated from S. annamiticum in a DAPC (Grismer et al. 2019, not shown). White squares are centroids.
