For the GGA members amongst you I mentioned this in Chit-Chat Number 17.
Underwoodisaurus milii is Nephrurus milii. Aaron Bauer proposed this many
years ago but the most relevant recent study I know (and which I referenced
in CC17) is:
Melville, J., J.A. Schulte & A. Larson. 2004. A molecular study of
phylogenetic relationships and evolution of antipredator strategies in
Australian Diplodactylus geckos, subgenus Strophurus. Biological Journal of
the Linnean Society, 2004, 82: 123-128.
I don't recall that that this team extracted DNA from a specimen of U.
sphyrurus in their study - but I would consider it also as Nephrurus.
Cheers.

Subject: [gecko]Underwoodisaurus or Nephrurus?
Hello everyone,
Can anyone tell me current classification of Underwoodisaurus milii? Is
it still in that genus?
When was that species reclassified into the Nephrurus genus, and when was
it removed? Was U.
sphyrurus also classified into Nephrurus at the same time as U. milii?
Thanks for the help!
Regards,
Steve Sykes
