Kellart's Kandyan gecko is endemic to Sri Lanka, recorded at Kandy, Hiniduma, Yattapatha, Pitadeniya, Sinharaja, Kalugala and Gannoruwa. It was folded into the Kandian half-toed gecko in 1935 and restored as a separate species in 2012. The maximum snout-vent length is 79.2 mm. The body is chocolate brown and moderately robust with short, stout limbs, the nape has distinct black longitudinal stripes, and a yellow band runs from the snout to the back of the head. The belly is dusky white and the tail carries strongly keeled tubercles in whorls (Wikipedia, general species account).
