This medium-sized gecko is easily identified by the pairs of black spots along its ventral surface, and by the black 'W' at the back of the neck. This noctural species occurs in primary lowland rainforests, sometimes venturing to the walls of buildings adjacent to the forest.

Its eggs are laid in pairs in the leaf litter or rotting logs, or else adhered to walls or other man-made structures.

It ranges from Southern Thailand through Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore to the islands of Borneo, Sumatra, Java, Sulawesi, the Moluccas, New Guinea and the Philippines.
