The Eyre Basin beaked gecko (Rhynchoedura eyrensis) is a gecko endemic to Australia in the family Diplodactylidae.[1] It is found throughout parts of South Australia, Queensland and the Northern Territory[2] and New South Wales.[3]
The etymology of the species eyrensis refers to the distributional area of this species across the Lake Eyre Basin in central/southern Australia.[4]
Rhynchoedura species are widespread and occupy a range of dry woodland, shrubland, grassland, and desert environments.[4] They are not considered to be at risk of extinction according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).[5]
