About Hemidactylus murrayi Gleadow, 1887

Murray's house gecko, scientifically named Hemidactylus murrayi Gleadow, 1887, is a species of gecko. This species occurs in western India, Myanmar, and Malaysia. It was previously classified as the same species as Hemidactylus brookii, but was revalidated as a distinct species by Lajmi and colleagues in 2016. The species' taxonomic status remains unclear, because its type specimens have been lost. The specific epithet murrayi is named in honor of James A. Murray, a British zoologist.
