Fixing a widespread misidentification

There’s the same issue with Reeves’ Tokay Gecko, Gekko reevesii, being misidentified as a Tokay Gecko, Gekko gecko, something I raised as an issue a while back, but that didn’t get much traction, and has a lot more misidentifications.

Really, there isn’t much you can do except go through and make the corrections yourself and hope that other identifiers spot that and correct their mistake.

There are lots of species where this sort of thing happens. At least in your instance it’s a small number of observations.
