The Diplodactylidae are a family in the suborder Gekkota (geckos), with over 150 species in 25 genera.[2] These geckos occur in Australia, New Zealand, and New Caledonia.[3][4] Diplodactylids are the most ecologically diverse and widespread family of geckos in both Australia and New Caledonia, and are the only family of geckos found in New Zealand.[5][6] Three diplodactylid genera (Oedura, Rhacodactylus, and Hoplodactylus) have recently been split into multiple new genera.[7][8][9]
