Gekko hokouensis, also known as the Hokou gecko or Kwangsi gecko, [2] is a species of gecko.
The species was first described by the American herpetologist Clifford H. Pope in 1928 as subspecies Gekko japonicus hokouensis. [3] Gekko hokouensis belongs to the subgenus Japonigecko. The species is currently defined morphologically and may include genetically divergent populations. [1] There are no subspecies recognized for Gekko hokouensis. [3]
It is found in eastern China, the Ryukyu Islands and Kyushu Island of Japan, and Taiwan. [3] Due to its large distribution the IUCN lists the species as least concern. In some areas the invasive Hemidactylus frenatus might pose a threat. [1]
The gecko is nocturnal and preys mostly on insects. [1]
