I reworded the second paragraph so it would make more sense and be more accurate.
New edit: They are typically known as house geckos, due to their readyness to adapt to and coexist with humans. This genus was originally established by Lorenz Oken in 1817 for the species within this genus at that time known as Hemidactylus tuberculosus. That name Hemidactylus tuberculosus is nowadays considered to refer to the Tropical House Gecko which is properly known now as Hemidactylus mabouia.[1]
As it appeared before: They are typically known as house geckos, due to their readyness to adapt to and coexist with humans. This genus was originally established by Lorenz Oken in 1817 for the relatives of the gecko then known as Hemidactylus tuberculosus. That name is nowadays considered to refer to the Tropical House Gecko which is properly known as H. mabouia.[1]
I hope this makes it make more sense and be more accurate. Dr CareBear ( talk) 20:04, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
I'm not good at editing HTML, but there's a big space that needs to be closed up before the species list, and after the heading. Pammalamma ( talk) 03:42, 16 April 2010 (UTC)
As someone with a keen interest in wildlife in general, and knowing exactly what I’ve seen in particular, I think it would be valuable to indicate which species are commensal with humans. Some of these are implied by the common English names given to the species.
Equally, it would be good to provide identification details of the various house-dwelling species, as they seem to have become global or at least spread throughout the tropics (with or without human assistance).
