Lepidoblepharis conolepis is a species of gecko, a lizard in the family Sphaerodactylidae. The species is endemic to Ecuador.
L. conolepis is found in Cotopaxi Province and Pichincha Province, Ecuador, on the western slope of the Andes. [2]
The preferred habitat of L. conolepis is humid montane forest at altitudes of 1,200–2,000 m (3,900–6,600 ft). [2]
Relatively large for its genus, L. conolepis may attain a snout-to-vent length (SVL) of 4.4 cm (1.7 in). The dorsal scales and lateral body scales are conical, to which the specific name refers. [2]

Since it was first described in 1901 from Ecuador, six scientific names have been introduced for it, but their common identity was not documented until 1998 and the species has long been known under the name Oryzomys bombycinus, described from Panama in 1912.

First collected in 1903, T. ucucha was formally described as a new species in 2003 and most closely resembles T. hylophilus, which occurs further to the north.
