Abstract
Hainan Province harbors one of the richest gekkonid faunas in China, currently comprising three species from the subgenus Japonigekko. A recent reptile survey in Hainan province suggests that the diversity of gekkonid species may be significantly underestimated. During fieldwork in Bawangling National Park, we discovered a dark green gecko. Based on both morphological and molecular evidence, this gecko is distinct from all known species and is therefore described here as a new species: Gekto prep sp. nov. .
