INTRODUCTION 



The following list includes all genus and species group 

 names of extant gekkonoid lizards, their authors and years of 

 publication. Most of the taxa I recognize are based on current 

 common usage, and no attempt has been made to assess the 

 monophyly of any genus. Junior objective and subjective synonyms 

 are placed in parentheses. According to Article 80c of the ICZN, 

 I follow existing usage in those cases under consideration by the 

 Commission (e.g., Case 2527; BZN 46:38-40, 46-48, regarding 

 Nactus arnouxii A. Dumeril [1851] and Nactus pelagicus Girard 

 [1858]). An asterisk is applied to all recognized subspecies, 

 taxa followed by a guestion mark reguire further study, and a 

 nomen nudum is followed by n.n. Not all unjustified emendations 

 are noted in this abbreviated compilation. The list was derived 

 from my manuscript of gekkonoid synonymies, wherein complete 

 literature references, type localities and primary types are 

 given. I would greatly appreciate notification of additions and 

 corrections to the following list so that the complete version 

 can be published with minimal errors. I wish to thank Aaron 

 Bauer, Ross Sadlier and Glenn Shea for their assistance.
