Bavayia, sometimes known as New Caledonian geckos or bavayias, are a genus of geckos from the remote New Caledonia and Loyalty Islands. These 12 species are moderately small to medium-sized geckos and are distinguished from other genera by their tail length and the shape of their digits.

Etymology

The generic name, Bavayia, is in honor of Arthur Bavay, a French pharmacist and herpetologist.[2]

Description

All species of Bavayia have elongated digits, each claw on the edge of each seta. They are fairly drab in coloration.

Behavior

Bavayia are nocturnal, and spend the daylight hours hiding under bark or rocks, or in tree holes.
