TRANSLATORS' FOOTNOTES 
* In the original, Hainan Island was included in Guandong Province. However, this island was 
removed from the latter to form an independent province, Hainan Province, by itself in 1987. 
** The original states “10 Gekko species and one subspecies”, but it lists only 10 species in the 
key. 
*** ‘Table 1 in the original contains “113 (65+68)”, but this must be a typographical error. 
**** The figure legend in the original states that the cross-marks in Fig. 3 indicate localities where 
G. japonicus was collected. But it is evident, from the content of the text, that those marks actually 
represent sampling localities of G. hokouensis.
