I'm sure I forgot some, but that should help. These Are just Eublapharis Maularis morphs, there are also they oriental Leos, uch as Vietnamese, Japanese, etc. And also, there are several subspecies of macularis, each with their own special traits.

Unless I've misunderstood what you're trying to say, you have to realise that those asian 'leopard' geckos are from the genus Goniurosaurus, and not leopard geckos at all. Their care is also incredibly different, as is their disposition. (shy animals, don't like to be held.)
Don't get me wrong...they are my absolute favorite geckos!

G. luii and G. araneus can be found here for about $150-$250. Japanese species command prices in excess of $350 american for juveniles.

That's an old latin name, the current is G. araneus. They also will not thrive unless presented with very humid conditions. I'm not sure what reference you are using, but I suspect it might be a bit out-dated. ;)
