Abstract
Hemidactylus flaviviridis, the Yellow-bellied House Gecko, belonging to family Gekkonidae, commonly found in North India but its locality records are meagre. Recently a good number of these geckoes were sighted by the author at Shikohabad (Firozabad district, Uttar Pradesh) which is not in records and hence the gecko has been reported here for the first time from the area with its systematic account, distribution, habitat, food & feeding, breeding and trematode infestation. They are also found to be the potential biological controllers as feed on various insect pests on gardens vegetation around and mosquitoes which fly out under light in night.
