Very happy to find this new species. Found while doing gecko surveys near Mt. Isa. Beautiful colors with either completely spotted or few spots with bands across its body. Will post pics of a few other individuals with different patterns.

Great naming idea, from now on I will call it the Velvet Bumblebee Gecko just for you :-) again congratulations on your find!
Awesome!
Beautiful !
Cool find.. and I like the name.. bumblebee velvet gecko..
agreed. was thinking the bumblebee velvet gecko for the common name
Darn! Oedura scottharticus has a nice ring to it..
Unfortunately someone down south is redoing the entire genus and is going to be describing them. Missed it by a few months.
So awesome. Who is naming it?
Nice series again Scott.
