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. EtymologyThe generic name, Bavayia, is in honor of Arthur Bavay, a French pharmacist and herpetologist.[2] DescriptionAll species of Bavayia have elongated digits, each claw on the edge of each seta. They are fairly drab in coloration. BehaviorBavayia are nocturnal, and spend the daylight hours hiding under bark or rocks, or in tree holes. SpeciesThe following 12 described species are recognized as being valid.[3][4]
Nota bene: A binomial authority in parentheses indicates that the species was originally described in a genus other than Bavayia. TaxonomyThe species formerly known as Bavayia madjo is now known as Paniegekko madjo.[7] The species formerly known as Bavayia validiclavis is now known as Dierogekko validiclavis.[8] References1. ^"Bavayia ".
