Heteronotia binoei, known commonly as Bynoe's gecko, is a species of lizard in the family Gekkonidae, and is endemic to Australia.

[4] The specific name, binoei, is in honour of British naturalist Benjamin Bynoe (1803–1865), who was a naval surgeon aboard the HMS Beagle with Charles Darwin.

[5] The Bynoe's gecko is a slender, long-tailed species which may grow to a total length (including tail) of 11–12 cm (4.3–4.7 in).

The body is covered with small spine like ridges which run down the length of the back, referred to in the alternative common name "prickly gecko".

[6] As it is a terrestrial species, it takes shelter under all types of ground cover including leaves, logs, stumps, stones, termite mounds, loose bark at the base of trees, and animal burrows.

[7] Females on Barrow Island reproduce by parthenogenesis, a form of asexual reproduction where the growth and development of the embryo occurs without fertilisation by a male.

It hunts among leaf litter or in bare open spaces and will occasionally climb trees or within rocks to source food.
