Lokuge's Day Gecko

Lokuge's day gecko is a diurnal gecko endemic to Sri Lanka, named for the ecologist Ajith Nethkelum Lokuge. It was first found in a granite cave beside a stream near Haputale in Badulla District, and later in granite rock caves at Idalgashinna, which receive rain in the southwest monsoon. It belongs to the Kandyan day gecko group and is closely related to the small round-eyed gecko. The male holotype measures 33 mm and two female paratypes 30 to 31 mm. The body is short and slender with a large depressed head, reddish brown with a yellow black-edged spot on the neck and a faded yellow vertebral stripe, and the throat is yellow with dark spots (Wikipedia, general species account).
