I caught several junvenile P. striata from Praslin Island, Seychelles.
Does anyone know the etymology of Phelsuma ?

"The genus Phelsuma was first described in 1825 by the British zoologist John Edward Gray, who named it after the Dutch physician Murk van Phelsum." --Wikipedia
Van Phelsum has a facebook page, but it appears to be empty phelsuma.org claims he was a helminthologist.
