Luperosaurus is a genus of geckos commonly known as Fringed Geckos. They are found in the Southeast Asian mainland and archipelago, extending from the Malay Peninsula, through the Philippines and Indonesia. These are small geckos, characterized by the flaps of skin on the front and rear of their limbs and sometimes, along bodies. The original spelling intended was Lyperosaurus (= vexing gecko), for possessing characters from two different genera known to John Gray, who named the genus. Members are presumably highly arboreal, and most species are known from one or a few specimens.
