난쟁이도마뱀붙이속

'''난쟁이도마뱀붙이속'''(''Lygodactylus'')은 '''드워프 게코'''(dwarf geckos)라고도 불리며, 대략 60종으로 이루어진 주행성 도마뱀붙이류의 일속이다. 주로 아프리카와 마다가스카르에 서식하지만 두 종은 남아메리카에 서식한다. 제일 잘 알려진 흰머리난쟁이도마뱀붙이는 케냐에 서식한다.
근래 탄자니아에서 밝은 색깔의 멸종위기종 청록색난쟁이도마뱀붙이가 불법으로 수출되어, 파충류 거래에서 난쟁이도마뱀붙이류가 점점 주의를 끌고 있다. 야생 청록색난쟁이도마뱀붙이 거래는 불법이기 때문에, 이 녀석들을 포장한 상자는 보통 라벨에 난쟁이도마뱀붙이류(''Lygodactylus spp.''), 곶난쟁이도마뱀붙이(:en:Cape dwarf gecko) 따위로 일부러 거짓된 정보를 기입한다. 몇몇 세관원들이 난쟁이도마뱀붙이류의 구성원들을 구별하는 데 어려움을 겪고 있기 때문에, CITES에서  난쟁이도마뱀붙이류 식별 가이드를 온라인으로 출판하였다.
