Pseudogekko hungkag, also known as the Bicol hollow-dwelling forest gecko, is a species of gecko. It is endemic to Bicol Peninsula of Luzon, the Philippines. It is a small gecko measuring 42–52 mm (1.7–2.0 in) in snout–vent length.[1][2] They have a cryptic appearance that allows them to blend into their natural habitat, crevices of hollow spaces on brown tree trunks.[3]
