. Bonner zoologische Monographien. Zoology. 171. 1934 Correlophus ciliatus Brongersma. 17: 165. 1964 Rhacodactylus ciliatus Mertens. , Leipzig, 29: 52. Diagnosis: This species is diagnosed from its congeners by the characters at node 19 and from R. chahoua by the presence of a parietal crest; expanded lateral lip of the quadrate; dorsal body scalation heterogeneous, with paired ciliated crests from tem- poral region converging at shoulders; nostril excluded from rostral; enlarged supracilliary scales; original tail tip oar-shaped.

(10, 12, 78, 79). Comments: Rhacodactylus ciliatus is the least well Icnown of the New Caledonian geckos because all of the numerous specimens were collected in the nineteenth century and few have associated data. Guichenot (1866) created the genus Correlophus for the species. His description is adequate and is accompanied by an engraving. Bavay (1869) believed that it should be relegated to a subgenus of Platydactylus but did not make the taxonomic shift Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Bonn, Zoologisches Forschungsinstitut und Museum Alexander Koenig
