They are hainanensis.

How do you know?

 

[Tamara]

Because the line right behind their head runs all the way down to the mouth.
With lichtenfelderi it stops in the neck.

Here is a link with some must know info abouth cave gecko's...
goniurosaurus orientalis toyamai yamashinae kuroiwae splendens hainanensis lichtenfelderi luii araneus catbanensis bawalingensis huuliensis

They are great none the less, we are picking up a few of them ourself tomorrow.

As Tamara said, yours are hainanensis.

Check this site, it explains the difference and has pictures to compare the two.

It also has a page for hainanensis describing the two forms.
