Cnemaspis

Cnemaspis is a genus of diurnal (day) geckos found in Asia.

Molecular phylogenies suggest that the two regional groupings may form distinct clades which are not each other's closest relatives.

[2] Species in this genus have slender, clawed digits which are cylindrical or depressed at the base (rarely dilated); the distal phalanges are compressed, forming an angle with the basal portion of the digits, the lower surface of which has a row of plates.

Their bodies are more or less depressed, granular or tubercular above.

Pupil circular; eyelid distinct all round the eye.
