Hemiphyllodactylus harterti, also known commonly as the Bintang slender gecko, Hartert's slender gecko, and Werner's gypsy gecko, is a species of lizard in the family Gekkonidae. The species is endemic to Peninsular Malaysia. [2]
The specific name, harterti, is in honor of German ornithologist Ernst Johann Otto Hartert. [3]
The preferred natural habitat of H. harterti is forest, at altitudes as high as 1,100 m (3,600 ft). [1]
Adults of H. harteri have a snout-to-vent length (SVL) of about 4 cm (1.6 in), and a tail length slightly shorter than SVL. Males have 44–45 femoroprecloacal pores and a single cloacal spur (postanal tubercle). [2]
H. harterti is nocturnal and scansorial (adapted for climbing). [1]
Unlike other species of Hemiphyllodactylus which are unisexual (females only), H. harterti is bisexual (males and females). [2]
