| Distribution | W Madagascar (Nosy Boraha = Nosy Sainte Marie) Type locality: Mojanga [= Mahajanga], West Madagascar. |
| Reproduction | oviparous |

| Diagnosis | Diagnosis: A species of Geckolepis that differs from all other species of the genus by the following combination of characters: innermost pair of large postmental scales make substantial contact with each other posterior to the mental scale (Type E), 30–37 scale rows around midbody, maximum SVL < 1 mm, infralabials to level of anterior margin of eye 4.0–., and adult body coloration not marked by heavy dark spots. Geckolepis polylepis can be distinguished from G. typica by a combination of the arrangement of the postmental scales posterior to the mental scale (Type E vs. Types A, B, C, D), maximum SVL (< 1 mm vs. < 7 mm), and the number of infralabials to level of anterior margin of eye (4.0–. vs. 2.8–4.6). Geckolepis polylepis can be distinguished from G. maculata by a combination of the maximum SVL (< 1 mm vs. < 80 mm), the number of scale rows around the midbody (30–37 vs. 22–30), the number of infralabials to level of anterior margin of eye (4.0–. vs. 3.0–4.6), and dark heavy spotting on body (absent vs. usually present in adults).
