Taxonomic revision of the Australian arid zone lizards Gehyra variegata and G. montium (Squamata, Gekkonidae) with description of three new species Hutchinson, Mark N. Sistrom, Mark J.

(2013).   Comments.King described his new species from a small number of localities and more recent knowledge has not suggested any broader distribution for this species. We did not have significant sampling of this species and so suggest that until further data prove the contrary, it should be regarded as an endemic inhabitant of the scattered rocky ranges centred around Tennant Creek, Northern Territory. King’s description reveals this species as very short-faced compared to the other species described here, with a reduced labial count (as few as six and not exceeding nine) and relatively small chin shields crowded by the short snout so that the postmentals are often in contact with the second infralabials (a very rare exception among the other species treated here). In colour pattern it is most similar to  G. pulingka  sp. nov.of the Central Ranges around Northern Territory-South Australia-Western Australiaborder region. That species is further distinguished from  G. minutain generally having three pairs of enlarged chin shields and the third infralabial notched. Nearby populations of  G. moritzi  sp. nov.can be distinguished by their finely spotted colour pattern (both black and white markings in the form of small circular spots),
