Eurydactylodes agricolae |
Bauer's chameleon gecko (Eurydactylodes agricolae) is a nocturnal species of lizard in the family Diplodactylinae. The species is endemic to Grande Terre in New Caledonia.[1][2]
Etymology
The specific name, agricolae, is in honor of American herpetologist Aaron Matthew Bauer. The German noun, Bauer, means "farmer" in English, which becomes agricola (genitive singular, agricolae) when translated into Latin.[3]
Habitat
The preferred natural habitats of the arboreal E. agricolae are forest and shrubland, at altitudes up to 1,000 m (3,300 ft).[1]
Description
E. agricolae may attain a snout-to-vent length (SVL) of 6 cm (2.4 in).[2]
