The lined flat-tail gecko (Uroplatus lineatus) is a gecko which is found in eastern Madagascar and on the island Nosy Bohara.
These geckos live on trees in tropical rain forests and on bamboo plants.
Threats to this species are posed by deforestation and illegal pet trade.
[1] The generic name, Uroplatus, is a Latinization of two Greek words: "ourá" (οὐρά) meaning "tail" and "platys" (πλατύς) meaning "flat".
Its specific name, lineatus, is the Latin word for "lined" in reference to the longitudinal stripes on the lizard's body.
