Diagnosis 
CommentSimilar species: Gekko badenii is closely related to G. petricolus.

Group: G. petricolus group (Meesook et al. 2021).

Distribution: not in Laos fide Luu et al. 2015.

Priority: The name G. badenii was published on April 15 while G. ulikovskii was published on May 15, 1994, hence the former has priority.

Type locality of G. ulikovskii: NW Gliai-Contum Province, C Vietnam. The type locality is near the borders of Laos and Cambodia and thus the species may occur there as well.

Trade: Although Gekko ulikovskii is a commonly traded species, there appear to be mostly males in the pet trade (at a ratio of 1:12 or smaller for females/males; HOFMANN 2006).

Karyotype: Chrostek et al. 2023. 
EtymologyNamed after the type locality.
Gekko ulikovskii was named after Russian amateur herpetologist Dimitri Ulikovsky.
