Of the 17 genera listed above, 4 are endemic — Audantia and 

 Hispaniolus of the family Iguanidae and Wetmorena and Sauresia of 

 the family Anguidae. The species of Hemidadylus — brookii and 

 mabouia — were introduced, and probably Sphaerodadylus cinereus 

 also. 



Family GEKKONIDAE 



Genus GONATODES Fitzinger 



1843. Gonalodes Fitzinger, Systema reptilium, pp. 18, 91 (type, Gymnodactylus 

 albogularis Duin6ril and Bibron). 



Representatives of this genus occur in tropical regions of the Old 

 World as well as in tropical America and the West Indies. One species 

 is known from Hispaniola, where it seems to be rare. Much more 

 collecting will have to be done before its range, variation, and habits 

 can be satisfactorily discussed.
