The Diplodactylidae are a family in the suborder Gekkota (geckos), with about 126 species in 25 genera.[1] These geckos occur in Australia, New Zealand, and New Caledonia.[2][3] Three diplodactylid genera (Oedura, Rhacodactylus, and Hoplodactylus) have recently been split into multiple new genera [4][5][6]
In previous classifications, the family Diplodactylidae is equivalent to subfamily Diplodactylinae.
