[4] Species in the genus Luperosaurus are found in the Southeast Asian mainland and archipelago, extending from the Malay Peninsula, through the Philippines and Indonesia.

These are small geckos, characterized by the flaps of skin on the front and rear of their limbs and sometimes, along their bodies.

The original spelling intended was Lyperosaurus (= vexing gecko), for possessing characters from two different genera known to John Edward Gray, who named the genus.

Members of the genus Luperosaurus are presumably highly arboreal.
