Oedodera marmorata Bauer, Jackman, Sadlier & Whitaker, 2006 ( Fig. 3 A) Type species: Oedodera marmorata Bauer, Jackman, Sadlier & Whitaker, 2006 by original designation. Diagnosis . Oedodera may be distinguished from all other New Caledonian diplodactylid genera by the following combination of character states: body size small (to 61 mm SVL); head large, neck distinctly swollen, nearly as wide as the widest part of head; tail to 93% of SVL; dorsal scalation granular, homogeneous; body without extensive skin webs or flaps; expanded, undivided subdigital lamellae under all toes; reduced claw of digit I of manus and pes situated between an asymmetrical pair of apical scansors; digit I of pes only with a small rounded scale on medial side in gap between subdigital lamellae and apical scansors; medial apical scansor present on digit II of one or more feet (condition variable); precloacal pores in two or three short rows (fewer than 20 pores in total) not extending onto thighs, females with precloacal slits or pits without secretory material; dorsal pattern of marbled or reticulated brown; venter distinctly yellowish. Distribution. Oedodera is limited to maquis habitat on ultramafic substrates in the far northwest of New Caledonia . Remarks. Since the description of O. marmorata , from Paagoumène, additional populations of Oedodera have been discovered and their taxonomic status is currently under review.
