(55.0 mm SVL; TailL 68.0 mm). It differs in having 23 scales between eye and ear, 3-4 supraciliary spines, nine supralabials, eight infralabials; 100 midbody scale rows; seven enlarged inferomedian scales under the fourth toe; nine precloacal pores in a shallow forward-directed curve (four left, five right), and three enlarged postcloacal spurs at base of tail.

This gecko appears to be a cliff dweller, inhabiting horizontal and vertical crevices in sandstone near the base of cliffs. Appears to be gregarious based on the amount of feces observed, but the two individuals collected were solitary in crevices along south-facing cliffs. Occurs in Northern Escarpment Quartzite Sourveld (GM 23) (
