Les 180 espèces de ce genre se rencontrent en Afrique, en Asie, en Amérique du Sud et en Océanie[1].
Description
Ces geckos sont arboricoles et nocturnes et vivent dans des forêts humides. Les mâles ont souvent la possibilité de vocaliser. Leur taille varie de 50 ou 60 mm à près de 200 mm. Leur coloration varie en général autour du brun clair ou foncé et du jaune pâle, avec la présence fréquente de bandes ou de taches. Un certain nombre d'espèces possèdent une queue préhensile.
Certaines espèces sont supposées parthénogénétiques, et peuvent même exister à la fois avec une reproduction sexuée et parthénogénétique.
Le nom de ce genre, Hemidactylus, vient du grecημι, «moitié», et de δακτυλος, «doigt», en référence au fait que la deuxième moitié du doigt est mince et grêle chez ces espèces[26].
