. Bonner zoologische Beiträge : Herausgeber: Zoologisches Forschungsinstitut und Museum Alexander Koenig, Bonn. Biology; Zoology. 136 Bonner zoologische Beiträge 53 (2004) tory Museum (BMNH), London, and the Museum für Naturkunde (ZMB), Berlin. Biometrie and scalation characters as well as colour pat- tern data were evaluated in both living and preserved specimens. Measurements were taken with a dial calip- per (to the nearest mm). The following abbreviations are used: = above sea level, SVL = snout vent length, TL = tail length, SE = distance from snout tip to front of eye, EE = distance between hindmargin of eye to hind- margin of ear, HW = maximum head width, HH = maximum head height, HL = head length (from tip of snout to hindmargin of ear). The following scale counts were taken: supralabials (SPL), sublabials (SBL), nasals (N); in direction from rostral to labial: nasorostrals, su- pranasals. postnasals, internasals (IN); postmentals (PM), gulars bordering the postmentals (GP), interorbi- tals (10), ventrals (V), scales around midbody (SB), subdigital lamellae under the first (LT1) and fourth toe (LT4), preanal pores (PP), postanal tubercles (PAT), dorsal scale rows in the middle of the third caudal whorl (S3R). In living specimens symmetrical scale counts were taken only on the lizard's right side. Colouration is described according to the standard plates published by Grallert & Roland (1960). 3. RESULTS Description of Gekko scientiadventura sp. n. Diagnosis. A small-bodied species of Gekko. The biggest specimen (captive) has a total length of 154 mm, of which 81 mm are made up of the tail. Habitus slen- der, head distinctly broader than neck, head and body slightly depressed. Unregenerated tail always longer than head-body length, not constricted at its base, not thickened, slighty depressed. Lateral fold weak, upper side of head, body and tail without tubercular scales. Digits and toes slightly webbed at the base, only inter- space
