Need to check something - gecko species

[Viridae]

I checked the Victorian scheduel and it lists Spiny Tail gecko under the species name Diplodactylus ciliaris, now is that an old classification of Strophurus ciliaris? And are they likely to allow Strophurus intermedius under the heading "spiny tail gecko""?

yeah, old name. NSW NPWS list are chokkers full of old names, and I'd be surprised if they changed them in the near future. I always wright the current names on my books "just to give them a hint "

intermedius and ciliaris have been regarded as separate species for a long time, so if they don't have intermedius on the list then I would think they won't allow it regardless of them being placed in a new genus.

Hmm well

Ahh hah, I found it: Eastern Spiny-tailed Gecko Diplodactylus intermedius

Yayness! (I can get them, everything is back on track)

Easterns are now Strophurus williamsi....

Strophurus intermedius are "Southern Spinytails"
