Geographic rangeL. listeri is endemic to Christmas Island.[3]EtymologyBoth the specific name, listeri, and one of the common names, Lister's gecko, are in honour of British naturalist Joseph Jackson Lister.[4] DescriptionLister's gecko is a brown lizard growing to a snout-vent length (SVL) of {{convert|5|cm|in|abbr=on}}. It has a broad, pale fawn/grey vertebral stripe which expands to cover the top of the head and matches the colour and pattern of the tail. It has a whitish belly. The body is covered with small, smooth scales.[5] HabitatL. listeri is most abundant in primary rainforest on the plateau, but also occurs in disturbed secondary forest growth. It is absent from mined areas on the island.[6][7]References1. ^{{IUCN|assessors=Cogger H, Mitchell NM, Woinarski J|year=2017|id=11559|title=Lepidodactylus listeri |version=2017.3|downloaded=2018-08-04}} 2. ^{{EMBL species|genus=Lepidodactylus|species=listeri}}. www.reptile-database.org. 3. ^Brown WC, Parker F (1977).
