Species

Three Agamura species are recognized:[1]

Geckos of the genus Rhinogekko have sometimes been classified in genus Agamura[2] but the genus is currently considered distinct from the latter.[2][3] These genera share a number of characteristics: straight to slightly bent toes, weakly tuberculate skin, and long, thin limbs and tail.[2]
