Pseudothecadactylus is a genus of geckos found in various states of Australia.

Species

Three species are recognized as being valid.

  • Pseudothecadactylus australis (Günther, 1877) – Cape York pad-tail gecko
  • Pseudothecadactylus cavaticus Cogger, 1975
  • Pseudothecadactylus lindneri Cogger, 1975 – giant cave gecko
  • Nota bene: A binomial authority in parentheses indicates that the species was originally described in a genus other than Pseudothecadactylus.

    The specific name, lindneri, is in honor of Australian herpetologist David A. Lindner.
