Nephrurus

The knob-tailed geckos or knob-tails, are a group of species of geckos, all found in the genus Nephrurus. Lizards of this genus are easily distinguished by their short bodies, large heads, small legs, and short, carrot-shaped tails that often end in a small knob. The following nine species are recognized as being valid. The former Nephrurus milii Bory de Saint-Vincent, 1823, is now Underwoodisaurus milii (Bory de Saint-Vincent, 1823) – barking gecko.
