Mitochondrial analysis revealed the Gulbaru leaf-tailed gecko to be a deeply divergent lineage with closer affinities to mid-east Queensland congeners than geographically neighboring geckos.
An analysis of 729 bp of mitochondrial 12S rRNA and cytochrome b genes reveals the Gulbaru leaf-tailed gecko to be a deeply divergent lineage with closer affinities to mid-east Queensland congeners than the geographically neighboring Mount Elliot leaf-tailed gecko (Phyllurus amnicola) on Mount Elliot.
