Editing Rodrigues day gecko (section)

==Description==
''P. edwardnewtoni'' was one of the largest day geckos. It reached a total length (including tail) of about {{convert|23|cm|in|abbr=on}}. Earlier investigators describe the animal as being quite common. However, this species has not been sighted since 1917, in spite of thorough searches in the 1960s and 1970s on Rodrigues and all offshore islets. Today, only six preserved specimens remain, which are in The [[Natural History Museum, London|Natural History Museum]] in [[London]] and the [[Muséum national d'histoire naturelle|Paris Natural History Museum]]. These specimens have been preserved in alcohol and show a thick-bodied, robust ''Phelsuma''. The body colour in life has been described as bright green with bright blue spots on the backside. The underside of the tail was whitish-yellow. The chin had a deep yellow colour.<ref name=iucn/>
