| NOTES: |
"Distribution, habitat preferences, and intraspecific variation in the giant Micronesian gecko (Perochirus scutellatus) are discussed for the first time, based on 136 recently acquired specimens together with field observations spanning approximately 2 months. Only two specimens, both adult males, have been reported previously in the literature. Perochirus scutellatus is a large (up to 132 mm snout-vent length 60 g body mass), sexually dimorphic (males larger than females), arboreal, and predominantly diurnal gecko known only from Kapingamarangi Atoll (on 18 of 31 islands)...." |
