Hemidactylus cf. brookii (Gray 1845) :

Individuals with strongly keeled dorsal tubercles and tails with spines were recorded. Schleich and Kästle (2002) recorded H. brookii on buildings in Chitwan National Park. However, we recorded them in dead logs inside the park in Parsa National Park ( Fig. 11 ). This species is regarded as a species complex and has been proposed for detailed molecular studies to solve taxonomy of Nepalese populations ( Rösler and Glaw 2010; Kathriner et al. 2014).
