Phyllurus is a small genus of Australian Leaf-tailed Geckos rarely seen outside their native habitat. They are notable for their highly effective camouflage which is in part aided by the spiny tubercles that cover every part of their body.
All of them apart from P. caudiannulatus have very flattened, leaf-shaped tails. Some of these species have recently reassigned to the Saltuarius genus.
