0F08F417FFA97400FF78F903FD34F89A.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Digits broadly expanded basally and subdigital scansors present on all digits of manus and pes. Digit I of manus and pes clawless, penultimate phalynx of digits II – V free from scansorial pad. Differs from non- Australian Gehyra by the combination of: absence of webbing between third and fourth toes, absence of a skin fold along the posterior hindlimb and medium adult size (SVL <62 mm). Differs from Australian Gehyra by the combination of moderate size (SVL <62 mm), short snout (SnEye / HL mean 0.42) and deep head (HD / HL mean 0.48), subdigital lamellae divided without basal wedge of granules, moderate number of pre-cloacal pores (12 – 17), postmentals not contacting the second infralabial, one pair of chin shields and dorsal background colour light reddish-brown to pale tan or greyish-brown with diffuse, widely-spaced pale spots and small dark-brown blotches.

0F08F417FFA97400FF78F903FD34F89A.taxon	description	Description of species. Range of variation for measurements and scale counts are presented in Table 1. A medium-sized (adult SVL mean 50.4 mm, range 42.0 – 61.3 mm), moderately robust gecko. Head deep (HD / HL 0.48, 0.40 – 0.58), moderately wide (HW / HL 0.86, 0.76 – 0.97), widest posterior to eye, tapering to a rounded snout, narrowing posteriorly to a slightly constricted neck. Snout short (SnEye / HL 0.42, 0.39 – 0.46), generally shorter than twice eye length (OrbL / SnEye 0.58, 0.54 – 0.63), occasionally slightly concave on dorsal surface, canthus rounded; in profile view, snout convex with blunt tip. Body moderately long (TrunkL / SVL 0.42, 0.37 – 0.47) and robust, slightly depressed. G. kimberleyi G. girloorloo sp. nov. G. nana (south Kimberley) G. pilbara N = 19 N = 17 N = 40 N = 14 (M = 11 / F = 8) (M = 10 / F = 7) (M = 20 / F = 20) (M = 4 / F = 10) On head, dorsal scales largest on snout, ~ 2.5 times larger than scales on crown of head and body and slightly projecting and imbricate. Nostrils large and circular, bordered by rostral, supranasal, two postnasals of similar size and first supralabial; supranasals round to triangular in shape, usually separated by a single large internarial scale. Rostral scale wider than high (RosH / RosW 0.64, 0.56 – 0.74), slightly gabled, usually with a deep medial cleft ~ 60 % of rostral height. Supralabials 7 – 9 (mode 8), infralabials 7 – 8 (mode 7). First supralabial higher than subsequent supralabials. Supralabials bordered dorsally by enlarged row of scales posteriorly that decrease in size as for supralabials. Mental scale roughly triangular, divides postmentals 20 – 40 %. Postmentals in contact with first infralabial only; single pair of outer chin shields smaller with rounded outer edge, ~ two-thirds the height of postmentals, in contact with first and second infralabials, thereby excluding postmental from contact with second infralabial. Second or third infralabial notched and in contact with first parinfralabial. Eye small (OrbL / HL 0.24, 0.21 – 0.27), circular, small fringe of mostly rounded scales extends from the postero-dorsal to the anterio-ventral edge. Ear openings moderately large and circular. Dorsal scales homogeneous, small, rounded and juxtaposed; gular scales granular; ventral midbody scales 2 – 3 as large as dorsal scales, slightly imbricate and tending to be diamond-shaped; limbs covered in granular scales, scales on anterior surfaces enlarged, especially on legs. Pre-cloacal pores 12 – 17, mode 16, perpendicular to body distally and medial curving forwards to form a sharply pointed ‘ v’ with anteriorly-directed apex. Usually a single small post-cloacal spur present on each side in males. Females lack pre-cloacal pores and prominent post-cloacal spurs. Limbs very short (ArmL / SVL 0.11, 0.09 – 0.13; HindL / SVL 0.12, 0.10 – 0.17); five digits on each limb, claws present on digits 2 – 5, claws long and free, arising from dorsal surface of expanded toe pads and extending above and well beyond toe pad, row of elongate and sharply pointed distal scales on periphery of dorsal surface of toe; toe pads ovoid; subdigital lamellae divided, 5 – 7 (mode 6) pairs on fourth finger, and 6 – 9 (mode 7) on fourth toe, apical lamellae wedge-shaped. Tail moderately long and moderately thin to slightly swollen, slightly dorso-ventrally flattened in crosssection, tapering to fine tip. Dorsal scales of tail flattened with rounded posterior edge, tending to be arranged in rows. Enlarged, wide series of scales beneath tail, bordered peripherally by 2 – 4 rows of enlarged scales, decreasing in size on lateral surfaces. Colouration in preservative. Background dorsal colour varies from dark reddish- or greyish-brown with fine dark stippling to light salmon-pink, pale and patternless in larger individuals (Fig. 2). Dorsal surfaces of head, torso and tail usually with scattered poorly-defined small, dark greyish-brown spots, blotches, flecks or short bars; pale grey spots interspersed among the darker markings, usually forming rows of 4 – 6 spots; on the neck and crown, blotches are usually separated, on the torso often transversely aligned to form loosely-defined bands on the body and on the tail often forming concentric bands. Dark longitudinal streaks on lateral surface of neck posterior to eye or a series of small dark blotches. Limbs with similar pattern to dorsum, but generally less well defined. Ventral colour pale, lightly stippled but more darkly pigmented anteriorly, especially in gular region. Iris pale silvery blue, pupil vertical and pale with crenelated edge. Original tails with alternating dark and pale concentric rings or series of blotches. Regenerated tails with no clear pattern, although indistinct longitudinal brown streaks are sometimes apparent. Colouration in life. Based on photographs of specimens captured in the south-western Kimberley. The dorsal background colour is pale or golden tan to medium dark brown, and the dorsal pattern consists of scattered dark brown blotches and smaller pale spots that occur in alternating rows, especially the vertebral zone, with smaller spots occurring on the head, flanks and limbs. The dorsal pattern tends to be less distinct in larger specimens (Fig. 3). Habitat and reproduction. Habitat notes from collectors of specimens held at the WAM indicate most were collected from termite mounds (128 of 227 such records). Other collection locations indicate generalist habits, with specimens collected from trees, under logs and other ground cover and including vertical rock faces. Like other species in the Gehyra variegata-punctata species-group (Doughty 1996), G. kimberleyi lays a single egg.	en	Oliver, Paul M., Bourke, Gayleen, Pratt, Renae C., Doughty, Paul, Moritz, Craig (2016): Systematics of small Gehyra (Squamata: Gekkonidae) of the southern Kimberley, Western Australia: redescription of G. kimberleyi Börner & Schüttler, 1983 and description of a new restricted range species.

0F08F417FFA97400FF78F903FD34F89A.taxon	distribution	Distribution. Occurs throughout the southern Kimberley region, from Cape Leveque at the northern edge of the Dampier Peninsula in the west, as far north as Mt Elizabeth in the central Kimberley, and north-east to Lake Argyle near Kununurra (Fig. 1). Most records are from south of the King Leopold and Durack barrier ranges, with several records south of the Fitzroy Crossing area. There are no records north of the Durack Range in the eastern Kimberley, although this region is the most poorly surveyed of the Kimberley. In the Northern Territory, the species is recorded from Buchanan Station. There are records of genotyped specimens as far south as the northern Pilbara (15 km north-east of Nifty Mine and Meentheena Nature Reserve), with several specimens from along the 80 mile beach extension of Dampierland between the west Kimberley and Pilbara regions. In the Great Sandy Desert, there are records from Dragon Tree Soak Nature Reserve in the south to records further north. The Great Sandy Desert remains poorly surveyed and this species may be more widely distributed in this region.	en	Oliver, Paul M., Bourke, Gayleen, Pratt, Renae C., Doughty, Paul, Moritz, Craig (2016): Systematics of small Gehyra (Squamata: Gekkonidae) of the southern Kimberley, Western Australia: redescription of G. kimberleyi Börner & Schüttler, 1983 and description of a new restricted range species.

0F08F417FFA97400FF78F903FD34F89A.taxon	etymology	Etymology. Although the original description mentions the ‘ Kimberleys’ (sic) (Börner & Schüttler 1983, p. 1), no explicit etymology was provided. The presumed correct formation of the specific name is ‘ kimberleyensis’, which means the taxon is from the Kimberley region. The proposed name ‘ kimberleyi’ would refer to a male named Kimberley. The error, however, cannot be emended under current ICZN rules of nomenclature. The suggested common name refers to species’ body habitus, and ‘ termitaria’ indicates this species’ habitat preference (although it is not exclusive to termitaria). Comparison with other species. Gehyra kimberleyi can be distinguished from all non-Australian Gehyra by the combination of absence of webbing between the third and fourth toes (versus present), the absence of a skin fold along the posterior hindlimb (versus present) and its smaller size (max SVL <65 mm versus> 65 mm). Within Australia, G. kimberleyi can be distinguished from all members of the G. australis species-group (which are largely restricted to the AMT) by its smaller size (max SVL <65 mm versus max SVL> 65 mm), divided subdigital lamellae (versus at least some undivided) and single egg per clutch (versus two).	en	Oliver, Paul M., Bourke, Gayleen, Pratt, Renae C., Doughty, Paul, Moritz, Craig (2016): Systematics of small Gehyra (Squamata: Gekkonidae) of the southern Kimberley, Western Australia: redescription of G. kimberleyi Börner & Schüttler, 1983 and description of a new restricted range species.

0F08F417FFAC740AFF78FF3BFD3AFDB7.taxon	description	Description of holotype. Adult male with following dimensions (in mm): SVL 41.3, HD 4.7, HL 10.2, HW 8.2, HindL 5.4, ArmL 5.0, TrunkL 18.4, NarEye 3.2, SnEye 4.5, InterN 1.5, InterO 3.2, OrbL 2.4, RosW 1.5, RosH 0.9. Summary meristic data are as follows: SupLab 8; InfLab 7; InterNSc 0; PreCloacal 9; FingSubDL 6; ToeSubDL 7. A small (41.3 mm SVL), slender gecko (Fig. 5). Head slightly depressed (HD / HL 0.46), moderately wide (HW / HL 0.80), of similar width to midbody, widest at posterior edge of jaw, tapering to snout, narrows posteriorly to a moderately constricted neck. Snout short (SnEye / HL 0.44), less than twice eye length (OrbL / SnEye 0.54), rounded in dorsal profile, slightly convex from mid-eye to naris when viewed laterally in profile. Eyes moderately sized (OrbL / HL 0.24), pupil vertical. Ear openings small and circular. Nostrils rounded, contacted by rostral, supranasal, two postnasals and first supralabial; second (ventral) postnasal ~ 2 times larger than first (dorsal), supranasals in contact, no internarial scale. Rostral scale rectangular with nearly flat dorsal edge, wider than high, 1.5 mm wide, 0.9 mm high (RosH / RosW 0.58), deeply furrowed, rostral crease extending from dorsal edge ~ 40 % of rostral height. Supralabials 8, infralabials 7. Scales on snout large, up to 3 times larger than scales on crown of head and body, imbricate and slightly projecting along posterior edge; fold of skin across snout from eye to eye (artefact of preservation). A row of slightly enlarged scales above supralabials gradually decrease in size posteriorly. Mental scale triangular, divides postmentals ~ 35 %; postmentals narrowly separated from second infralabial on right side, in point contact on left side; single pair of outer chin shields with curved dorso-postero edge, ~ two-thirds the height of postmentals and ~ 30 – 40 % smaller in area; outer chin shield in point contact with first infralabial on right side, narrowly in contact on left. Body long (TrunkL / SVL 0.46) and slender, slightly depressed and with a weak ventro-lateral fold posterior to axilla. Dorsal midbody scales small and granular, relatively homogenous, conical, juxtaposed; lateral scales slightly larger, more projecting and heterogeneous than those on dorsal surface, slightly imbricate; ventral scales ~ 3 times larger than dorsal scales, flat, diamond-shaped with rounded edges, juxtaposed. Pre-cloacal pores in a series of 9, forming a short continuous chevron with apex orientated anteriorly; pores centred in scales, innermost scales the largest. Two enlarged, rounded and protruding cloacal spurs present on either side of cloaca. Limbs short (ArmL / SVL 0.12; HindL / SVL 0.13); dorsal and ventral scales generally small, rounded and juxtaposed; scales on anterior edge of limbs slightly larger and imbricate. Fingers and toes 5; expanded toe pads oval; distal row of dorsal scales on toe pads elongate and sharply pointed, forming a serrated ‘ fringe’. Claws long and free, present on digits 2 – 5, arising from dorsal surface of expanded toe pads and extending above and beyond toe pad, subdigital lamellae divided, 6 pairs on fourth finger, 7 pairs on fourth toe, all pairs of lamellae in contact, apical lamellae undivided and wedge-shaped. Most of tail is original (52.0 mm, TailL / SVL 1.3), very thin, tapering gently to fine tip, slightly dorso-ventrally flattened at base, proximal 31 mm section original, distal 21 mm section regrown. At widest part near base — 4.3 mm wide, 3.3 mm deep. Dorsal caudal scales small, granular and relatively homogeneous, subcaudal scales in a single large transversely widened series. Colouration of holotype (in preservative). Background colour pale grey, lightly stippled with darker gray, a series of pale circular spots tending to form oblique transverse rows, enclosed by more extensive transverselyoriented darker grey markings or larger variegations; crown of head with small pale spots above tympanum region, snout and sides of head dark grey, no streaks emanating posteriorly from eye, labials heavily stippled; limbs as for dorsum with smaller pale spots; undersurfaces pale off-white; dorsal surface of tail encircled by pale (wider) and dark brown (thinner) bands. Variation. Table 1 presents ranges of variation for the characters measured. In a small number of specimens, the postmental and second infralabial are in point contact, otherwise they are separated. The same pattern holds for internasals — in most specimens the supranasals are in broad contact above the rostral, in a small number a tiny internasal scale is present. Colouration in preservative is as follows: background dorsal colour pale tan or grey (Fig. 6), densely stippled with fine blackish-brown variegations, moderate sized (0.5 – 1.5 mm wide) poorly defined pale circular to oval spots scattered on the dorsum, separated by concentrated patches of dark-brown markings that coalesce to form weakly defined transverse bands; density and distribution of dorsal pattern elements varies along body: usually little or no clear pattern on anterior portion of head, more clearly defined on nape with scattered small light spots and indistinct dark blotches, and consisting of alternating series of comparatively large and more well defined pale spots and indistinctly defined transverse brown bands on the torso and original tail. Limbs as for torso, with scattered distinct to indistinct small pale spots; undersurfaces largely unpigmented, but with dense fine dark brown maculations around the ventrolateral regions of head, limbs and ventral tail scales. Regrown tail light greyishbrown with diffuse longitudinally aligned narrow dark streaks. Colouration in life. The following notes are based on photographs of specimens NMV D 77030 and WAM R 175037 shown in Fig. 7 and WAM R 175042 – 3 (not shown). Dorsal surfaces pale purplish buff very finely stippled with medium brown, overlain on dorsum and tail with alternating transverse series of pale spots lacking borders and irregular dark-brown blotches that tend to be transversely aligned and intermittently bordered with yellow-orange. Head with smaller pale and dark spots with scattered yellow-orange flecks or fine spots. Regenerated tails often have a distinctive yellowish wash and very fine brown longitudinal markings. Iris dark golden brown with fine black reticulations. Habitat and reproduction. This species is closely associated with dissected limestone outcrops, and also occurs on small trees and shrubs (Fig. 8). It tends to be less common on exposed vertical rock faces than its much larger sympatric congener G. ko i r a Horner. The locally occuring form of Gehyra nana tends to utilise different habitats — it is rarely found on limestone and generally on smaller boulders and rocky debris in surrounding areas. Gehyra girloorloo sp. nov. can be abundant in its preferred habitat, for example, most large shrubs along an open rock face in Menyous Gap had at least one specimen, often positioned head down close to the ground in what appeared to be a hunting posture. In contrast, we found this species to be scarce in early July 2014 when temperatures were low (<15 ° C), with only two specimens observed over two nights of searching around Mt Piere Station. Like all Gehyra in the variegata-punctata species-group, this species lays a single egg. Some females were gravid in November in spring at the end of the dry season.	en	Oliver, Paul M., Bourke, Gayleen, Pratt, Renae C., Doughty, Paul, Moritz, Craig (2016): Systematics of small Gehyra (Squamata: Gekkonidae) of the southern Kimberley, Western Australia: redescription of G. kimberleyi Börner & Schüttler, 1983 and description of a new restricted range species.

0F08F417FFAC740AFF78FF3BFD3AFDB7.taxon	distribution	Distribution. Gehyra girloorloo sp. nov. is only known from a small area of limestone outcropping in the King Leopold Range of the south-west Kimberley on Gogo and Mt Piere Stations (Fig. 1). Known localities extend in a narrow band from the limestone Billy Hills in the north-west, to just north-west of Ngumpan Cliff in the southeast, a straight line distance of approximately 55 km.	en	Oliver, Paul M., Bourke, Gayleen, Pratt, Renae C., Doughty, Paul, Moritz, Craig (2016): Systematics of small Gehyra (Squamata: Gekkonidae) of the southern Kimberley, Western Australia: redescription of G. kimberleyi Börner & Schüttler, 1983 and description of a new restricted range species.

0F08F417FFAC740AFF78FF3BFD3AFDB7.taxon	etymology	Etymology. Girloorloo, pronounced “ gir-loor-loo ”, is a word the local Gooniyandi mob use for the limestone this species appears to be restricted to. This species name was suggested by elders from the Gooniyandi mob who speak for country on which this species occurs. Comparisons. Gehyra girloorloo sp. nov. can be distinguished from all non-Australian Gehyra by the absence of webbing between third and fourth toes (versus present), the absence of a skin fold along the posterior hindlimb (versus present) and its generally smaller size (max SVL <50 mm versus> 50 mm). Within Australia, G. girloorloo sp. nov. can be distinguished from all members of the G. australis speciesgroup (which are largely restricted to northern Australia) by its smaller size (max SVL <50 mm versus> 50 mm), divided subdigital lamellae (versus at least some undivided), lower number of pores in the males (<12 versus> 12) and females laying just one egg per clutch. Gehyra girloorloo sp. nov. can be distinguished from members of the G. variegata group from the Australian arid zone by its lower number of pre-cloacal pores in males (<12 [mode 9] versus usually more than 10 [Hutchinson et al. 2014]), no conspicuous dark streaks emanating from behind the eyes, at most only light red hues (versus rich reddish-brown) and less contrasting dorsal pattern combining diffuse dark markings (versus extensive reticulations) and diffuse light spots (versus tending towards smaller and well defined). A further species in this group, G. pilbara, is similarly small, but differs in dorsal colouration (reddish-brown vs. pinkish-grey), the presence of obviously enlarged loreal scales above the infralabials (versus absent) and in having an extremely short snout resulting in short, wide postmentals (versus tall and thin in G. girloorloo sp. nov.) (Fig 4.). Gehyra girloorloo sp. nov. can be distinguished from most other members of the G. variegata group that also occur in the AMT as follows: from G. xenopus and G. spheniscus by the absence of a wedge of granules between proximal lamellae (versus present), and in the case of the former species, also much smaller size (max SVL 48 versus 79 mm); from G. occidentalis by its lower number of subdigital lamellae (5 – 7 versus 7 – 10) and small body size (max SVL 48 mm versus 76 mm); and from G. multiporosa by the absence of dark lateral head streaks, and fewer pores in males (8 – 11 versus 20 – 49). A final taxon from this region, G. nana, is a complex of species (unpublished data). However, G. girloorloo sp. nov. can be distinguished from both geographically proximate and type G. nana by its pinkish-grey dorsal colouration (versus reddish), background stippled (versus plain), larger and more diffuse pale spots (versus small and clearly defined), diffuse and transversely-oriented dark brown blotches on dorsum (versus clearly defined brown blotches or [usually] spots), and low number of pre-cloacal pores in males (8 – 11 versus 11 – 17). Gehyra nana from around localities from where G. girloorloo sp. nov. has been recorded are also particularly small (SVL 39.0, 35.0 – 41.9 mm) and strongly spotted (see Fig. 5).	en	Oliver, Paul M., Bourke, Gayleen, Pratt, Renae C., Doughty, Paul, Moritz, Craig (2016): Systematics of small Gehyra (Squamata: Gekkonidae) of the southern Kimberley, Western Australia: redescription of G. kimberleyi Börner & Schüttler, 1983 and description of a new restricted range species.
