[Herpetology • 2011] ตุกแกบินลายสามแถบ Ptychozoon trinotaterra Brown, 1999 (Squamata; Gekkonidae): Rediscovery in Thailand



Abstract
The parachute gecko Ptychozoon trinotaterra, known so far only from its type series which includes specimens from two geographically distant localities in northeastern Thailand and central Vietnam, has been rediscovered in Thailand. The morphological observations made on the new specimens confirm that the Vietnamese and Thai populations are conspecific.
