Wikipedia Abstract

Chatogekko is a genus of South American geckos. Its type and only species is C. amazonicus, a very small gecko. They grow to a maximum length of only 24 millimetres (0.94 in). They are found in leaf litter on the forest floor and prey on springtails and mites. The following cladogram represents phylogenetic relationships among sphaerodactyl geckos presented by Gamble et al. in 2011.
