Cnemaspis is a genus of diurnal (day) geckos found in Africa and Asia. With over 100 species, it is one of the most diverse genera of geckos. Molecular phylogenies suggest that the three regional groupings may form distinct clades which are not each other's closest relatives.

The Muria rock gecko(Cnemaspis muria, Indonesian: Cicak Batu Gunung Muria) is a species of diurnal, rock-dwelling, insectivorous gecko endemic to Indonesia. It is distributed throughout Java. It was first identified by Riyanto et al (2019) on the southern slopes of Gunung Muria, a dormant volcano in central Java. To date, this is the only known location for the genus Cnemaspis on the island of Java. This discovery is geographically significant as the closest other species of Cnemaspis was found in Lampung, roughly 580 km. The holotype was caught at night and subsequent species were only found on large rocky microhabitats alongside rivers and coffee plantations. As it is an insectivore, it is believed to eat pests found on coffee plants; there are concerns about the use of insecticides jeopardizing the geckos as natural pest control agents.
