Saltuarius

Wikipedia Abstract

Saltuarius is a genus of larger Australian geckos, known collectively as leaf-tailed geckos. The genus was created in 1993 to accommodate former members of the genus Phyllurus. These geckos appear very similar to the Uroplatus geckos native to Madagascar. However, this is a convergent evolution. The genus name is derived from the Latin word saltuarius, meaning "keeper of the forest".
