Reviewed by Daniel Scantlebury Dec 20, 2005

Action: changed name from "Homophotis fasciata" to "Palmatogecko rangei "

Reviewer's comments:

"The animal in the photograph is clearly Palmatogecko rangei based upon it's pinkish, translucent skin and web feet. In all of Gekkota, there are only a couple of species which have similar scalation, and thereby resemble P. rangei. They are P. vanzyli and Stenodactylus arabicus. P. rangei differs from both of these species in having all of its feet webbed.
