Rhynchoedura
''Rhynchoedura'' is a genus of lizards in the family Diplodactylidae. It includes six species, commonly known as beaked geckos, all of which are Endemism, endemic to the arid zone of the Australia, Australian outback. Members of the genus are terrestrial and Nocturnality, nocturnal, sheltering by day in spider burrows. They specialize in eating Termite, termites and are most abundant in open, recently burned areas. They can be characterized by their long bodies and narrow heads with enlarged scales at the tip of the snout. ''Rhynchoedura'' species are widespread and occupy a range of dry woodland, shrubland, grassland, and desert environments, and none are currently considered to be at risk of extinction. The genus was traditionally regarded as monotypic, with the single species ''Rhynchoedura ornata'' named by Albert Günther in 1867. A second species was described in 1985, though without widespread recognition at the time. In 2011 an extensive revision sampling the population ac ...

Rhynchoedura Eyrensis
The Eyre Basin beaked gecko (''Rhynchoedura eyrensis'') is a gecko endemic to Australia in the family Diplodactylidae.

Rhynchoedura Ormsbyi
The eastern beaked gecko (''Rhynchoedura ormsbyi'') is a gecko endemic to arid zones of New South Wales and Queensland in Australia. Taxonomy The species was described by Richard W. Wells and Cliff R. Wellington in 1985 as ''Rhynchoedura ormsbyi''. Rhynchoedura is an assemblage of desert Gekkonidae, Gekkonids, with ''R. ormsbyi'' being distinguished from Western beaked gecko, Rhynchoedura ornata with a combination of traits, especially with the shape of the snout, composition of the scales, and the arrangement of the pre-anal pores. The first description of the species was described by Albert Günther as ''Rhynchoedura ornata'' in 1867, where the current species of ''R. ornata'' and ''R. ormsbyi'' were not differentiated. The species was redescribed by Richard W. Wells and Cliff R. Wellington as ''R. ormsbyi'' in 1985, then was resurrected by Mitzy Pepper as ''R. ormsbyi'' in 2011.

Rhynchoedura Ornata
The western beaked gecko (''Rhynchoedura ornata'') is a species of gecko found throughout the interior of Australia. Taxonomy The species was first described by Albert Günther in 1867. It is placed in the ''Rhynchoedura'' genus, which are found throughout Australasia. This group shares characteristics with several species of '' Diplodactylus'', the conspicillatus group, Glen Storr has suggested that these could be transferred to this genus. Many of the characters of this species are found in '' Diplodactylus stenodactylus'', their appearance, habitat and distribution, and '' Diplodactylus pulcher'' has a similar snout and vertebrae. Synonyms for this species include ''Diplodactylus paraornatus'' and ''Rhynchoedura ormsbyi'' published by Wells & Wellington. Research into the phylogenetic relationships of ''Diplodactylus'' has identified two clades, and the resurrection of '' Lucasium'' has been proposed.
