The smooth knob-tailed gecko is part of the Carphodactylidae family,[2] a family endemic to Australia.[3] A common, alternative, name for this family is barking geckos due loud barks they make during threat displays, which includes swaying their bodies, winding their tail and attacking with an open mouth.[3] There are multiple sub-species of Nephrurus levis, these include N.l. levis, N.l. occidentalis and N.l. pibarenis.[3][4] Its aboriginal name is Illchiljera.[5]
