Paniegekko is a monotypic genus of geckos in the family Diplodactylidae, containing the species Paniegekko madjo. [1] It is endemic to humid montane forests on Mont Ignambi and Mont Panié in the Panié massif of New Caledonia. [2] It was once considered a species of Bavayia, a similar genus of arboreal geckos. [3] Paniegekko madjo is endangered, owing to predation by introduced rodents and cats combined with habitat degradation by wildfires and introduced pigs ( Sus domesticus) and deer ( Rusa timorensis). It has not been observed since 1998. [4]
