Amalosia lesueurii, commonly known as Lesueur's gecko or Lesueur's velvet gecko, is a species of gecko, a lizard in the family Diplodactylidae. The species is endemic to Australia.

Etymology

The specific name, lesueurii, is in honor of French naturalist Charles Alexandre Lesueur.[2]

Description

A. lesueurii is a small ({{convert|8|-|10|cm|0|disp=or}}) gecko. It is a mottled grey colour.

Geographic range

A. lesuerii is found near the eastern coastline of New South Wales and Queensland.

Behaviour

Although it is perhaps the most common gecko in the Sydney region, A. lesuerii is rarely observed unless it is disturbed. During the day it hides under close-fitting rocks, and comes out at night to hunt insects.[3]
