A small and very recently (1997) described genus of two Thai species. Both were formerly considered members of the Phyllodactylus genus, and may still be listed under that heading.
Scientific Name | Common Name | Distribution | Size | Notes |
Dixonius | ||||
D. melanostictus | ? | Thailand (one locality only) | ?" | Please see the EMBL Reptile Database entry for the escalation of this species and its relative into their own genus. So far I have been unable to trace any more information on either. |
D. siamensis | Thai (?) Gecko | SE Asia, from India to Vietnam (Malaysia unknown) | ?" | Species first identified in 1997 (EMBL Reptile Database). Care possibly as for D. melanostictus. |
