Rhoptropella is a monotypic genus of lizard in the family Gekkonidae. The genus is indigenous to southern Africa.

Species

The sole species in the genus Rhoptropella is Rhoptropella ocellata,^[3] although its generic allocation is debated.^[1]

R. ocellata is known commonly as the Namaqua day gecko, the ocellated day gecko, and the spotted day gecko.^[1]

R. ocellata is found in southwestern Namibia and South Africa (Little Namaqualand).^[1]^[3]

The preferred natural habitats of R. ocellata are desert and shrubland.^[1]

Adults of R. ocellata have a snout-to-vent length of 3–4 cm (1.2–1.6 in).^[4]

R. ocellata is oviparous.^[3] Adult females lay clutches of 1–2 hard-shelled eggs. Each egg measures 8.5 by 6.5 mm (0.33 by 0.26 in).^[4]
