This index covers articles relating to sphaerodactylid
geckos, or “ball-toed” geckos, as now classified. These include
not only the diminutive traditional Central- and South American
geckos but also several species from North Africa, the Middle East
and Central Asia, including the “wonder geckos” (Teratoscincus
species).
