| - The diplodactylid gecko genus Dierogekko is endemic to the northern Grande Terre of New Caledonia and the adjacent ultramafic offshore islands. All species are allopatric except D. poumensis and D. inexpectatus, both of which occur on Sommet Poum. The validity of the latter species, described: on the basis of a single female, is confirmed by a recently collected series of specimens from Paevala. Dierogekko inexpectatus appears limited to the northern portion of Sommet Poum, where it is restricted to closed forest remnants. Based on its tiny area of occurrence and existing threats from mining, wildfires, invasive weeds, and a diversity of invasive animals, it is assessed as Critically Endangered. A molecular phylogenetic analysis of Dierogekko confirms previously proposed relationships and reveals a new species level taxon from Ile Baaba, off the northern tip of the Grande Terre. The specimen is known from a single female, but is distinguished from its congeners by its small size (<38 mm SVL) and narrow, divided subdigital scansors. It is separated from all other Dierogekko by an uncorrected ND2 divergence of 6-15% (Tajima-Nei distance 6-17%). It is vulnerable to wildfires, habitat degradation and introduced mammalian predators and fire ants and is considered to be Critically Endangered.
