Remarks: A unisexual, parthenogenetic species (Zug 2010b). The native distribution of this species is unknown (Zug 2013). Previously included margarethae and other populations now assigned to separate species (e.g., hongkongensis).

Records from Marshall Islands refer to Lepidodactylus moestus (Fisher, Uili, Enoka & Zug 2013). Some, but not all, records from the Philippines represent the bisexual species insularis (Ferner, Brown, Sison & Kennedy 2001; Zug 2010b). Also some other populations recorded as typus (Borneo, southern Indochina, Sri Lanka) have proven or may prove to be separate species (Zug 2010b). Apparently distributed in Hawaii, Polynesia and the Mascarenes through accidental human transport (Fisher, Uili, Enoka & Zug 2013; Zug 2010b, 2013).
