Identification. This tiny gecko is the only gecko species found at WWS. It can be distinguished from other sphaerodactylid geckoes by the following combination of characters: 14 or 15 lamellae on toe IV; 14–16 transverse rows of ventral scales; dorsal scales smooth, uniform in size, and non-overlapping; snout scales not elongated; and snout granules larger than dorsal granules (Torres- Carvajal et al. 2020).
