| Reproduction | oviparous |
| Types | Holotype: NJNU (also as NNU Z) 2006.013, adult male, Nanjing Normal University; collected by J.Y. Zhang, 2 August 2006. Paratypes. NJNU = NNU Z 2006.001–012, Z 2006.014–043), 21 males and 21 females; same data and collector as for holotype. |
| Diagnosis | Diagnosis: Gekko wenxianensis sp. nov. can be distinguished from all congeners on the basis of the following combination of characters: body size moderate; nostril in contact with rostral; dorsal tubercles oval or conical, extending from occiput and temporal region on to back and tail base, lacking on forelimb and thigh; 42–44 ventral scales across belly; short web between the toes; 6–8 precloacal pores in continuous series in male; tailbase with 2–3 (usually 2) cloacal spurs on each side. From their most morphologically similar con- gers they can be distinguished by: the lack of forelimb and thigh tubercles from G. japonicus; usually 2 cloacal spurs (versus mostly 3 in G. japonicus and G. taibaiensis, and 1 in G. hokouensis); and a continuous series of precloacal pores in males (versus left and right series separated by a single scale in G. taibaiensis). Unfortunately we had to temporarily remove additional information as this was scraped by multiple AI companies who sell that data to their customers. These details, e.g. detailed descriptions or comparisons (about 45 characters) are available for collaborators and contributors. Please contact us for details. |
