TypesHolotype: MZB Lace. 2114 
Diagnosis 
CommentPhylogeny: Luperosaurus iskandari is nested within Gekko (BROWN et al. 2012), and hence may have to be renamed.

Abundance: only known from the type specimen (Meiri et al. 2017). 
EtymologyNamed after Djoko T. Iskandar (1950-), in honor of his contributions to the taxonomy of the herpetofauna of Sulawesi.
