Christinus

Christinus is a genus of Gekkonidae geckos found in southern regions of Australia.

The contrasted patterns of these geckos, marbling, are found in a variety of reddish-brown, grey, silver, white, black and purplish hues.

They are frequently found in old knotted trees and sometimes congregate in large numbers in established urban environments.

[2] Christinus was first described by Wells and Wellington in 1984,[3] giving the types species as that published as Diplodactylus marmoratus Gray 1845.

One proposed subspecies, Christinus marmoratus alexanderi Storr, has been elevated by some authorities to the rank of species.
