The black-eyed gecko, ''Mokopirirakau kahutarae'', is a species of alpine gecko endemic to New Zealand. The specific epithet, ''"kahutarae"'', is taken from "Kahutara saddle", the locale where the type specimen was found.〔''New Zealand Frogs and Reptiles'', Brian Gill and Tony Whitaker, David Bateman limited, 2001〕 The holotype is in the collection of the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa. The black-eyed gecko is named for its unusually melanised irises. These could be an evolutionary response to a higher UV alpine environment above 1300m, but nocturnal habit and other newly discovered alpine geckos without this feature do not support this. == Conservation status ==
As of 2012 the Department of Conservation (DOC) classified the Takitimu gecko as Nationally Vulnerable under the New Zealand Threat Classification System.
