Geckoella is a disputed genus of Gekkonidae endemic to India and Sri Lanka.




Classification of genus Geckoella


The phylogenetic relationships within the genus Geckoella has not been resolved to date. Based on morphology, Bauer (2002) suggested that it was a subgenus of Cyrtodactylus but a phylogenetic study by Feng et al. (2007), though with inadequate sampling of taxa, restored it to generic status once again. They have all been placed under the genus Cyrtodactylus until a more definitive classification can be worked out.
Seven species have been recorded.
The five species found in India, listed alphabetically, are :

Geckoella albofasciatus (Boulenger, 1885)– Boulenger's Indian gecko
Geckoella collegalensis (Beddome, 1870) – Kollegal ground gecko
Geckoella deccanensis (Günther, 1864)
Geckoella irulaorum (Agarwal, 2023)
Geckoella jeyporensis (Beddome, 1877) – Patinghe Indian gecko
Geckoella nebulosus (Beddome, 1870)
Two species found in Sri Lanka, listed alphabetically, are :

Geckoella triedrus (Günther, 1864) - Sri Lanka Gecko
Geckoella yakhuna (Deraniyagala, 1945) - Northern Sri Lanka Gecko,
occur in the arid and moist zones of Sri Lanka respectively.
