Pseudogonatodes
''Pseudogonatodes'' is a genus of sphaerodactylid geckos, often known as South American clawed geckos, containing seven described species. Like most sphaerodactylines ( South American sphaerodactylids), ''Pseudogonatodes'' are miniaturized geckos and among the smallest living lizards. They are diurnal and terrestrial, foraging among leaf litter and rotting wood on the ground. Prey items are primarily small arthropods such as springtails, insect larvae, and orthopterans ( crickets and kin). Though locally common and not strongly threatened with extinction, most species occupy restricted ranges in remote tropical forests. The most widespread and well-studied species, '' Pseudogonatodes guianensis'', is found throughout the Amazon rainforest.
