Phyllurus nepthys, also known commonly as the Eungella leaf-tailed gecko, is a species of lizard in the family Carphodactylidae. The species is endemic to Australia.[1]
The specific name, nepthys, refers to the ancient Egyptian goddess Nepthys.[2]

The underside of P. nepthys is cream-colored, and is heavily peppered with brown. In all other species of Phyllurus the underside is mottled or unmarked. Maximum snout-to-vent length (SVL) is 10.3 cm (4.1 in).[4]
