난쟁이도마뱀붙이속 (Lygodactylus )은 드워프 게코 (dwarf geckos)라고도 불리며, 대략 60종 으로 이루어진 주행성 도마뱀붙이류 의 일속 이다. 주로 아프리카 와 마다가스카르 에 서식하지만 두 종은 남아메리카 에 서식한다. 제일 잘 알려진 흰머리난쟁이도마뱀붙이 는 케냐 에 서식한다.[ 3]
근래 탄자니아 에서 밝은 색깔의 멸종위기종 청록색난쟁이도마뱀붙이 가 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.[ 4] [ 4] CITES 에서 난쟁이도마뱀붙이류 식별 가이드 를 온라인으로 출판하였다.[ 5]
