Geckoella

The phylogenetic relationships within the genus Geckoella has not been resolved to date. Based on morphology, Bauer (2002) suggested that it was a subgenus of Cyrtodactylus but a phylogenetic study by Feng et al. (2007), though with inadequate sampling of taxa, restored it to generic status once again.^[1] They have all been placed under the genus Cyrtodactylus until a more definitive classification can be worked out.^[4]

Seven species have been recorded.^[5]

The five species found in India, listed alphabetically, are :^[1]

• Geckoella albofasciatus (Boulenger, 1885)– Boulenger's Indian gecko
• Geckoella collegalensis (Beddome, 1870) – Kollegal ground gecko
• Geckoella deccanensis (Günther, 1864)
• Geckoella irulaorum (Agarwal, 2023)^[6]
• Geckoella jeyporensis (Beddome, 1877) – Patinghe Indian gecko
• Geckoella nebulosus (Beddome, 1870)

Two species found in Sri Lanka, listed alphabetically, are :

• Geckoella triedrus (Günther, 1864) - Sri Lanka Gecko
• Geckoella yakhuna (Deraniyagala, 1945) - Northern Sri Lanka Gecko,

occur in the arid and moist zones of Sri Lanka respectively.^[1]
