Bavayia exsuccida, also known as the sclerophyll bavayia, is a species of geckos endemic to North Province, New Caledonia.[2] As of 2022, it is known from only one locality, with an extent of occurrence of 8 sq km.[3]

The species name exsuccida derives from the Latin exsuccus, meaning "without juice" or "without sap", and refers the sclerophyll vegetation of the dry forests in which this species is found.[4]
