''Underwoodisaurus'' is a small genus of Australian Gekkonidae, described as thick-tailed or barking geckoes. The genus has a complex taxonomic history, but the currently accepted taxonomic concept follows & (2011), with a second species subsequently recognised by & (2011).〔 〕 Reptile systematists nowadays recognise a distinct family, Carphodactylidae, for this and some related genera. ==Description== Adults of some species can reach a snout-to-vent length of 80mm. Preanal pores are absent. The feet are generally "bird-like" with long slender digits, and the tail is carrot-shaped. The underside of the body is white, and the dorsal surface ranges from dark purplish-black through reddish-brown to pale fawn, with small white, yellow and black spots in patterns.〔 A thick tail is generally a sign of good health, although lack of thickness may indicate recent egg-laying. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Underwoodisaurus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
