Description of Geckobia carcinoides n. sp. ectoparasitic on Gehyra oceanica from :French Polynesia. The distributions of three species found on the same lizard are analyzed. Results show a gradient of distribution of two species, the third being a cosmopolitan one. These facts can be correlated with dispersal characteristics of Gekkonidae in Polynesia.
