Dravidogecko anamallensis, also known as the Anamalay gecko, Anaimalai dravidogecko, or Anamalai Hill gecko, is a species of gecko found in the South Indian hills of Palni, Anamalai and Tirunelveli. It is assigned to the genus Dravidogecko, with a resurrection in 2019, as a study suggested molecular phylogenetics is to have had a separate origin from the other Hemidactylus species. [2]
