Lepidodactylus listeri, also known commonly as Lister's gecko or the Christmas Island chained gecko, is a species of gecko, a lizard in the family Gekkonidae.

Geographic range

L. listeri is endemic to Christmas Island.[3]

Etymology

Both the specific name, listeri, and one of the common names, Lister's gecko, are in honour of British naturalist Joseph Jackson Lister.[4]

Description

Lister'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]

Habitat

L. 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]
