Type species: O. marmorata Gray, 1842 , by monotypy.
Generic diagnosis. A genus of the Diplodactylidae distinguished from all related genera by the possession of enlarged juxtaposed dorsal scales approximately the same size as the ventrals ( versus much smaller in related genera). Further distinguished from other taxa formerly placed in Oedura ( Amalosia , Hesperoedura and Nebulifera ; Oliver et al. 2012), by the combination of large size (adult SVL>60 mm), usually more than one cloacal spur per side, and dorsal pattern generally including a weak to bold series of transverse bands or disjunct blotches and no evidence of a vertebral stripe.
