Homopholis is a genus of geckos in the family Gekkonidae. Species in the genus Homopholis are native to Sub-Saharan Africa. Their diet consists of small insects, and they are oviparous.
Species There are four species in the genus Homopholis. Homopholis arnoldi Homopholis fasciata – banded velvet gecko, striped velvet gecko Homopholis mulleri – Muller's velvet gecko Homopholis wahlbergii – Wahlberg's velvet gecko
Nota bene: A binomial authority in parentheses indicates that the species was originally described in a genus other than Homopholis.
Nomenclatural note: The spelling walbergii was corrected to wahlbergii by Andrew Smith (1849) in an errata within an addenda slip (unpaginated).
