Crested gecko
The crested gecko, New Caledonian crested gecko, Guichenot's giant gecko or eyelash gecko, ''Correlophus ciliatus'', is a species of gecko native to southern New Caledonia. This species was thought extinct until it was rediscovered in 1994.〔
〕 Along with several ''Rhacodactylus'' species, it is being considered for protected status by the Convention on the International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Flora and Fauna. It is popular in the pet trade.
==Taxonomy==
The species was first described in 1866 as ''Correlophus ciliatus'' by the French zoologist Alphone Guichenot in an article entitled "Notice sur un nouveau genre de sauriens de la famille des geckotiens du Muséum de Paris" ("Notes on a new species of lizard in the gecko family") in the ''Mémoires de la Société Scientifique Naturelle de Chérbourg''. It was later renamed ''Rhacodactylus ciliatus''. Recent phylogenetic analysis indicates that ''R. ciliatus'' and ''R. sarasinorum'' are not closely related to the other giant geckos, so these two species have been moved back to the genus ''Correlophus''.
The specific name, ''ciliatus'', is Latin: ''cilia'' means "fringe" or "eyelashes" and refers to the crest of skin over the animal's eyes that resembles eyelashes.
