Hemiphyllodactylus harterti, also known commonly as the Bintang slender gecko, Hartert's slender gecko, and Werner's gypsy gecko, is a species of lizard in the family Gekkonidae. The species is endemic to Peninsular Malaysia.^[2]

Etymology

The specific name, harterti, is in honor of German ornithologist Ernst Johann Otto Hartert.^[3]

Habitat

The preferred natural habitat of H. harterti is forest, at altitudes as high as 1,100 m (3,600 ft).^[1]

Description

Adults of H. harteri have a snout-to-vent length (SVL) of about 4 cm (1.6 in), and a tail length slightly shorter than SVL. Males have 44–45 femoroprecloacal pores and a single cloacal spur (postanal tubercle).^[2]

Behavior

H. harterti is nocturnal and scansorial (adapted for climbing).^[1]

Reproduction

Unlike other species of Hemiphyllodactylus which are unisexual (females only), H. harterti is bisexual (males and females).^[2]
