Introduced to French Polynesia (Tuamotu Archipelago: Fakarava). A record from Norfolk Island, Australia (Boulenger 1885) is presumed to be in error or an introduction, which did not establish a population (Cogger, cameron & Cogger 1983; Cogger 1996; Bauer & Sadlier 2000; Flecks, Schmitz, Böhme, Henkel & Ineich 2012). Introduced to: Australia (Norfolk Island), French Polynesia. Distribution: New Caledonia (Loyalty Islands), Vanuatu (incl. Espiritu Santo).

Distribution: Indonesia (Halmahera, Kai Islands, Morotai, Obi, Ternate). Gehyra media Medium Pilbara Spotted Rock Dtella Mittlerer Pilbara-Vierkrallengecko Middelstor Pilbara-stumpfingergekko 2018 Gehyra media Doughty, Bauer, Pepper & Keogh Remarks: Previously regarded as a population of punctata (Doughty, Bauer, Pepper & Keogh 2018).

Nevertheless, Flecks, Schmitz, Böhme, Henkel & Ineich (2012); Zug, Ineich, Pregill & Hamilton (2012), and Zug (2013) listed insulensis as a separate species. According to Zhao & Adler (1993), erroneously recorded as introduced to New Zealand (e.g., Robb 1980). Not listed for Chile (Easter Island) by Gamboa (2020). Introduced to: Christmas Island, French Guiana, India (Andaman Islands, Uttar Pradesh), Indonesia (Talaud Islands), Mauritius (incl.

It is unclear to me whether Queensland records (e.g., Cogger 2014; Vanderduys, Hines, Gynther, Kutt & Absolon 2011; Wilson & Swan 2010; Wilson 2005) are still valid or have been reassigned to other species.

Gehyra oceanica Oceanic Gecko Pazifischer Vierkrallengecko Pacifisk Stumpfingergekko 1830 Gecko oceanicus Lesson Gehyra oceanica Gray 1845 Hemidactylus oceanicus Schmeltz 1874 Peropus oceanicus Barbour 1912 1820 Stellio argyropus Tilesius von Tilenau (Bauer 1994) 1834 Gehyra pacifica Gray (Bauer 1994) 1836 Hemidactylus oualensis Duméril & Bibron (Bauer 1994) 1842 Gehyra gularis Gray (Bauer 1994) Remarks: Presumed extirpated in Guam (Bauer 1994). Presence in mainland New Guinea needs confirmation, according to Beckon (1992), who believed the species to be rare or absent there. Nevertheless, it has been listed from the island by many subsequent publications (e.g., Bauer 1994; Rösler, Glaw & Günther 2005; Kraus & Allison 2006). Records from the Loyalty Islands (New Caledonia) (Burt & Burt 1932) refer to vorax (Bauer & Sadlier 2000). Records from the Isle of Pines, off the New Caledonian mainland, are based on wrong locality data (Bauer & Sadlier 2000). Records from Lord Howe & Norfolk Islands (Australia) are erroneous (Cogger 1996). Records from the Australian mainland (incl. Torres Strait Islands) are doubtful (Bauer 1994; Cogger 1996). Not listed for Chile (Easter Island) by Gamboa (2020). Extinct in: Guam. Introduced to: New Zealand, USA (Hawaii). Distribution: American Samoa, Cook Islands (incl.
