The white-striped viper gecko (Hemidactylus albofasciatus) is a species of geckoendemic to India.[1][3] The species, mostly found under the loose rocks on rock outcrops of the Konkan region is known to be threatened by the land-use changes.[4][5] This is an uncommon, slender gecko found only in the lateritic plateaus of Maharashtra.[6] This patchily distributed ground-dwelling species hides generally under the rocks during the daytime[7][8]
Teratolepis albofasciatus (Grandison and Soman, 1963)
Distributionedit
The species is currently known from few localities in the Maharashtra state. The type locality is Dorle Village in Rajapur Taluka, Ratnagiri district, Maharashtra.[3] Its distribution is poorly known, and it could be more widely spread.[1]
