Phyllurus

Phyllurus.

P. platurus. New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, and probablyVictoria.

P. inermis. New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, and probablyVictoria.

P. Myliusii. New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, and probablyVictoria.

These species occur near Sydney, where they are much dreaded by some persons, who apply the name of "Rock-scorpion" to them. They possess a distinct shrill voice, and like most Geckos change colour from light to dark; their broad flat tails are often lost and soon reproduced; adults measure about 6 inches in length; seldom more.
