| Comment | Luperosaurus sorok was preliminarily assigned to the new subgenus Rhacogekko within Gekko. See Wood et al. 2019 for details. |
| Etymology | Rhacogekko is derived from the Greek noun rhakos, meaning "rag" or "wrinkle" in relation to the rounded lobe-like fringes or wrinkles on the lateral folds of the body. The species name is derived from Malay, meaning "to hide", in reference to its presumed ecologically cryptic nature. |
