Tra le revisioni tassonomiche interessanti "Parachute geckos free fall into synonymy: Gekko phylogeny, and a new subgeneric classification, inferred from thousands of ultraconserved elements" (Wood et al. 2019-2020) dove genere Gekko è stato suddiviso in 7 sottogeneri: Gekko, Japonigekko, Ptychozoon (declassato da genere), Rhacogekko (ex Ptychozoon rhacophorus), Lomatodactylus (che include due specie che erano appartenenti al genere Luperosaurus), Balawangekko (ex Luperosaurus gulat) e Archipelagekko.

La pubblicazione "Diversification in the mountains: a generic reappraisal of the Western Ghats endemic gecko genus Dravidogecko Smith, 1933 (Squamata: Gekkonidae) with descriptions of six new species" (Chaitanya et al. 2019) offre risvolti interessanti per quel che riguarda il genere Dravidogecko che, con 6 nuove specie tutte derivanti da popolazioni di D. anamallensis, non è più monotipico.
