Gehyra is a genus of geckos, lizards in the family Gekkonidae. Species within the genus are known as web-toed geckos or dtellas, and most bear close resemblance to geckos from the genus Hemidactylus.
Geographic range
Gehyra species have a wide geographic range, covering most of the Oceania and Melanesian Islands as far north as the Ryukyu Islands and Thailand.
Description
Dtellas are moderate-sized geckos that resemble house geckos. Gehyra species have toepads and powerful claws. Like some other geckos, they have a tendency to drop strips of skin if handled carelessly. Similar to house geckos, dtellas are able to communicate with clicks or chirps, although their chirp is often quieter than that of house geckos.
