Abstract

A new gekkonid lizard, Gekko taylori, is described from central Thailand. This species has a large body and a nostril separarated from the rostral, and most closely resembles G. smithii and G. gecko from Southeast Asia. From these species, however, G. taylori differs in having several morphological and karyological features such as relatively large ear openings, greater tubercle row count on dorsum, and greater diploid chromosome number. A dichotomous key to the five species of the genus Gekko in Thailand is provided.
