DiagnosisAdditional details, e.g. a detailed description or comparisons (718 characters), are available for collaborators and contributors. Please contact us for details. 
CommentDistribution: Records from Australia, the Marianas and Phnpei represent erroneous localities or accidental introductions. A recent accidental introduction into Guam from the Philippines has been documented (McCoid 1993). Reported from but not listed by DAS 1999 for the Andaman Islands. Reported from Taiwan but apparently not established there (OTA 1989). Reported from E Pakistan (Barkal), but KHAN (pers. comm.) states it doesn’t occur there. Synonymy mainly after KLUGE 1993.

Karyotype: The karyotype formula is 2n = 38 = 8m + 2sm + 2st + 26t in red-spotted tokay geckos from Laos compared with 2n = 38 = 8m + 2sm + 28t in black-spotted tokay geckos from Guangxi China, indicating that they may belong to different species (Qinet al. 2012).

Synonymy: partly after Wermuth 1965 and Rösler et al. 2018. Gecko Reevesii GRAY 1831 has been resurrected from synonymy of G. gecko. However, Ho et al. 2023 found paraphyletic clades among G. gecko and G. reevesii. Kluge 1969 synonymized Gymnodactylus tenuis with Gekko gecko.

Type species: Gekko verticillatus LAURENTI 1768 is the type species of the genus Gekko LAURENTI 1768. The name Geeko Pulteney, 1781 is an error typographicus, similar to Geho Smith, 1846 and Gakko Okada, 1938. Platydactylus Goldfuss, 1820 is a junior doxisonym (subjective synonym) of Gekko Laurenti, 1768 (Frétey & Dubois 2019).

Genomics and transcriptomics: Jiang et al. 2022 published a transcriptome analysis of G. gecko.

Key (Chinese species): Stejneger 1934. 
EtymologyNamed after the Neo-Latin gekko which, like the English 'gecko', stems from Indonesian-Malaysian gēkoq. It is a Malay word borrowed from Javanese, from tokek, which imitates the sounds that some species like Tokay gecko make (Wikipedia).

The genus name has the same origin as the species epithet.
