Comment | The populations of P. brevipes from Negros and Siquijor have been redescribed as P. atiorum. Abundance: Rare. Pseudogekko brevipes is known only from a handful of specimens from the eastern Visayan islands of Bohol, Leyte, and Samar. Conservation: Vulnerable (DAVIS et al. 2015). Sympatry: possibly P. ditoy and P. pungkaypinit Reference images: see Uetz et al. 2024 for high-resolution reference images for this species. |
