There are likely other subspecies that will pop up pending genetic review...

Are really Lineatus member of the Fimbriatus group, in a book i have. (Leaf-tailed Geckos: The Genus uroplatus) Lineatus are listed in their own group, the Lineatus group.
Which group do you think the U.pietschmanni belong to, the Fimbriatus group???

Best regards

I would say that uroplatus pietschmanni belongs to the allaudi group. They look very simliar to allaudi.

never heard of allaudi... how new is that, and any pics?

Alllaudi has been known for a long time I don't know its actual description date but its not a new species. The reason you don't hear about it that often is it is one of those ultra-rare reptile species. According to Bill Love only about 12 specimans have been found but I don't if that is accurate because the C.I.T.E.S reports say that close to 25 are exported each year!!! I think that pietschmanni may be a sub-species of allaudi or the other way around, you can definatly see the resemblance.

Thanks for naming the species guys. Good thread

In my oppinion Pietschmanni is NO WAY a part of the Alluaudi-group. I keep U: Guentheri and U. Pietschmanni, and Alluaudi are very close to U. Guentheri. The only difference is the number of supralabial scales and the structure of the skin.
U. Pietschmanni is a totally different gecko. Round body versus thin, extremely spiny skin versus smooth - and also others arguments could be mentioned.
In my opinion both Lineatus and Pietschmanni are a group of their own...untill we find out about subspecies....(?)

It was just an idea. As you can see from the picture I posted above of alluadi it looks very much like pietschmanni. I have also seen some guenthri pictures that look kind of like pietschmanni. But you can't deny the resemblance of alluadi and pietschmanni at least from the picture. Here's is a picture of a guenthri that I thought looked like a pietschmanni.

There is a very nice page on the global gecko assoc. website with pictures of all the uroplatus species at:
