A preliminary assessment of the Nactus pelagicus species group (Squamata: Gekkonidae) in New Guinea and a new species from the Admiralty Islands Author Zug, George R.

One of them shares characteristics with populations of Nactus pelagicus from Oceania. The other morphotype is striking in its color pattern, differing from any other Nactus population; this morphotype also possesses a number of differences in scalation and is also genetically very distinctive. It represents a new species.
