This gecko species closely resembles the three-lobed gecko (Ptychozoon trinotaterra) but is smaller. Its caudal fringes are slightly directed posteriorly. It lacks large tubercles on its back, and the first digit on the front foot is completely separated from the skin along the forearm. The body is more slender and less patterned. Its tail has a serrated edge on both sides, deeply incised with 9-15 serrations. In individuals with regenerated tails, the serrations are nearly absent.
Habitat and Ecology:
This species is nocturnal and often coexists with other gecko species. They are occasionally observed resting on tree trunks during the day. When pursued, they typically leap downwards and use their skin flaps to glide to another tree, or at least, to prevent falling. Their diet is currently unknown, but they likely consume small insects.
Distribution:
This species has a limited distribution in Myanmar, Vietnam, Borneo, and in Vietnam, it has been observed in Trảng Bom – Đồng Nai, and Kiên Giang – Phú Quốc.
