This poorly known gecko is quite numerous at least locally in Abd al-Kuri. It was not found climbing, but observations are so scarce that habitat requirements of this species are almost unknown, as well as its life history.

Original data. Fig. 12. Abd al-Kuri Island.

Habitat. It is a ground dwelling gecko found on stony and sandy places of the island, often close to dwarf bushes.

Bibliographic data. Boulenger (1899, 1903), Steindachner (1903), Rösler & Wranik (2004).
