Lepidoblepharis miyatai

provided by wikipedia EN

Lepidoblepharis miyatai is a species of gecko, a lizard in the family Sphaerodactylidae. The species is endemic to Colombia.

Etymology

The specific name, miyatai, is in honor of American herpetologist Kenneth Ichiro Miyata (1951–1983).[2]

Geographic range

L. miyatai is found in Magdalena Department, Colombia.[3]

Description

The holotype of L. miyatai has a snout-to-vent length (SVL) of 20 mm (0.79 in) and a broken tail.[3] Lepidoblepharis miyatai sp. nov. is a unique sphaerodactyline gecko which occurs in dry coastal thorn forest of the Department of Magdalena, northern Colombia. (Lamar, W. W. (1985). A New Lepidoblepharis (Sauria: Gekkonidae) from the North Coast of Colombia. Herpetologica, 41(2), 128–132. The reason why there's not much information on this organism is because it just disappeared for a while and then came back in whole different new area and disappeared again leavening people to think its already extinct.

Reproduction

L. miyatai is oviparous.[3]
