As the largest family of geckos, Gekkonidae shows high levels of endemism in karst systems. Hemiphyllodactylus (commonly known as half leaf-fingered geckos, dwarf geckos, or slender geckos), belongs to the family Gekkonidae. However, like other small organisms (e.g., snails, millipedes, and other invertebrates), this genus is often overlooked, and given the highly endemic nature of the group, more targeted protection is clearly needed.
