[edit] Description
The digits are free, or more or less webbed, and dilated. Underneath there are two rows of lamellae. All the digits have slender distal clawed joints which are angularly bent and which rise from within the extremity of the dilated portion.
The dorsal lepidosis is either uniform or heterogeneous. The pupil of the eye is vertical. Males have pre-anal or femoral pores.[1]
[edit] Distribution
This genus of gecko is found in Southern Europe, Southern Asia, Africa, Tropical America, and Polynesia.
