| Diagnosis | Diagnosis: Small sized geckos, maximum SVL 34 mm; SVL/TailL approximately 1:1. Dorsal surface covered with small homogenous granular scales. Ventral scales rounded, weakly keeled (Fig. 3b), 54–61 longitudinal rows at midbody (V), 190–225 scales along midbody (SLB), 88–97 scales around midbody (SAB). Nostrils surrounded by convex scales. No enlarged postmentals. Fingers and toes weakly flattened dorsoventrally, lateral edge of digits fringed by series of projecting triangular scales. No web between digits. Usually, three median lamellae present only on distal part of digits (Fig. 3c); no precloacal or femoral pores. Main dorsal background color is cream with beige shade. Dark ^- shaped stripe on dorsal surface of rostral part of snout, which passes through eye above ear opening and continues on side of body. Labials white, in some cases, with grey-brown dots. Patterns on dorsum formed by dark thin irregular vermicular patches, spots, and lines. Sometimes these dark dorsal patterns blend with each other and form transverse bands. There is a dark longitudinal narrow stripe between forelimbs and hindlimbs on sides of body. Dorsal surfaces of limbs and digits with irregular dark bands. Dorsal surface of tail with 8–10 dark-brown wide bands with irregular margins, same size as light bands with which they alternate. Ventral surface of body and limbs white. Ventral surface of tail with dark spots that become more distinct posteriorly. |
