  We describe a green lacertid lizard, Takydromus hani, from central Vietnam. It differs from congeners in having 6-8 (versus 1-5) femoral pores on each thigh. The phylogenetic relationships of this continental form seem to be with T. sauteri of Taiwan, and T. toyamai and T. smaragdinus of the Ryukyu Archipelago.
