The Virgin Islands dwarf sphaero, Virgin Gorda least gecko, or Virgin Islands dwarf gecko (Sphaerodactylus parthenopion) is a species of gecko and also one of the smallest terrestrial vertebrates. It has only been found on three of the British Virgin Islands: Virgin Gorda, Tortola, and Moskito Island (also spelled “Mosquito Island”). It was discovered in 1964 and is suspected to be a close relative of Sphaerodactylus nicholsi, a dwarf sphaero from the nearby island of Puerto Rico. It shares its range with the big-scaled least gecko (S. macrolepis), which is found in leaf litter. Unlike this larger gecko, the Virgin Islands dwarf sphaero lives on drier hillsides, yet prefers moist microhabitats found under rocks because it lacks the adaptations necessary for preventing water loss, which is

  • Sphaerodactylus parthenopion est une espèce de gecko connue pour être l'un des plus petits vertébrés terrestres. On le rencontre exclusivement sur trois îles des îles Vierges britanniques : Virgin Gorda, Tortola, et Mosquito Island. Il a été découvert en 1964 et semble être fortement apparenté à Sphaerodactylus nicholsi, une espèce du genre Sphaerodactylus de l’île voisine de Porto Rico. Il partage son aire de répartition avec Sphaerodactylus macrolepis, que l’on trouve dans les litières de feuilles. Sphaerodactylus parthenopion vit lui sur les coteaux secs, où il recherche cependant des microhabitats humides, notamment sous les rochers. Il est en effet mal adapté pour supporter de fortes déshydratations du fait de sa petite taille. Sphaerodactylus parthenopion a une couleur marron sur sa partie supérieure, moucheté souvent de quelques écailles plus foncées. En moyenne, il mesure 18 mm du museau au cloaque, et pèse 0,15 gramme. Plusieurs rayures plus claires sont visibles sous les yeux et en haut de la nuque et permettent de le distinguer plus facilement. Il n'y a aucune différence de coloration entre les deux sexes, mais les femelles sont légèrement plus grandes. La queue peut se régénérer si elle est coupée. On sait très peu de choses sur sa biologie et l'importance de sa population. (fr)
  • The Virgin Islands dwarf sphaero, Virgin Gorda least gecko, or Virgin Islands dwarf gecko (Sphaerodactylus parthenopion) is a species of gecko and also one of the smallest terrestrial vertebrates. It has only been found on three of the British Virgin Islands: Virgin Gorda, Tortola, and Moskito Island (also spelled “Mosquito Island”). It was discovered in 1964 and is suspected to be a close relative of Sphaerodactylus nicholsi, a dwarf sphaero from the nearby island of Puerto Rico. It shares its range with the big-scaled least gecko (S. macrolepis), which is found in leaf litter. Unlike this larger gecko, the Virgin Islands dwarf sphaero lives on drier hillsides, yet prefers moist microhabitats found under rocks because it lacks the adaptations necessary for preventing water loss, which is a significant problem due to its small body size. The Virgin Islands dwarf sphaero has a deep brown colour on its upper side, often with a speckling of darker scales. On average, it measures 18 mm (0.71 in) from its snout to its vent, and is nearly as small as a U.S. dime. At most, it weighs 0.15 g (0.0053 oz). There are several stripes or bars of lighter colouration behind the eyes and at the top of the neck that help distinguish it. There are no differences in colouration between males and females, although females are slightly larger in size. Its tail will regenerate when broken off. Little is known about its population size or its biology. (en)
  • 버진아일랜드땅딸이도마뱀붙이(Virgin Islands dwarf sphaero, Virgin Islands dwarf gecko)는 도마뱀붙이류의 일종이며 (en:Smallest organism) 중 하나다. 버진땅딸이는 영국령 버진아일랜드의 버진고다섬, 토르톨라섬, (en:Mosquito island)에서만 발견된다. 이 녀석은 1964년에 발견되었고, 푸에르토 리코의 근처 섬에 서식하는 (en:Sphaerodactylus nicholsi)와 근연종일 것으로 보인다. 이 녀석은 잎더미에서 처음으로 발견된 (en:Sphaerodactylus macrolepis)와 서식범위가 겹친다. 버진땅딸이는 큰비늘땅딸이와 달리 더 건조한 언덕 능선에 살아가지만, 몸의 크기도 작은데다 수분 손실을 막기 위해 필수적인 적응이 모자라 수분이 모자라면 생명이 위험할 수도 있기 때문에 바위 밑의 축축한 (en:Microhabitat)를 더 좋아한다. 버진땅딸이의 윗부분은 짙은 갈색을 띄며, 흔히 더 짙은 비늘로 이루어진 반점이 흩뿌려져있다. 평균적으로 주둥이(en:Snout)에서 총배설강까지 18 mm (0.71 in) 에 달하여, 거의 미국 다임 주화만큼이나 작다. 몸무게는 잘 해야 0.15 g (0.0053 oz)에 불과하다. 목의 윗부분에 좀 더 밝은 색깔의 줄무늬가 몇 개 있어서 다른 종과 구별하는 데 도움이 된다. 암컷이 조금 더 크며, 체색은 암수가 같다. 잘린 꼬리는 재생할 수 있다. 개체수나 생태에 대해서는 알려진 것이 거의 없다.
