Right hemipenis (Fig. 3: terminology after RÖSLER 1998) mm wide. mm long, clávate, forked. Pedicel and truncus not dif- ferentiated from each other; basally on the sulcal side is a small wrinkled adminiculum. running laterocranially and not reaching the sperm groove. Above the admini- culum a ribbed area. Apex bilobed, the lobes being sub- equal in size. Sperm groove originates from the latero- caudal side of the organ and runs straight along the truncus, where it divides into two branches that termi- nate on the upper side of each lobe in a slit-like concav- ity. Apically, the sperm groove is shallow and is ac- companied by weakly developed sulcal lips. The sperm groove gets deeper and widens towards the proximal part of the truncus. The epidermal tissue of the lobes appears to be rough, although no calyces can be distin- guished. Colour of preserved holotype. Upper side of head and body dark grey. Head grey-brown, with darker vermicu-. Fig. 3: Right hemipenis of the holotype of Gekko scientiad- ventura sp. n. (ZFMK 76198): a) sulcal, b) asulcal view. Dra- wing: H.

Dorsum with seven median light flecks that continue laterally into small transverse bands with strongly waved anterior and posterior margins. These transverse bands are ante- riorly bordered by brown-blackish lines and dissolve laterally. Between the single bands light flecks and nu- merous small spots are interspersed. Limbs above dark grey with grey-brown stripes. Throat, chest and belly buff, the throat bearing a reticulate pattern. Belly later- ally with light spots. Forepart of tail above and below dark grey, hindpart grey-black. Nine grey-brown trans- verse bands on the u
