Saltuarius is a genus of larger Australian geckos, known collectively as leaf-tailed geckos. The genus was created in 1993 to accommodate some former members of the genus Phyllurus. These geckos appear very similar to the Uroplatus geckos native to Madagascar. However, this is a convergent evolution.
The genus name is derived from the Latin word saltuarius, meaning "keeper of the forest".[2]
The species in the genus Saltuarius inhabit Australia's eastern coastal region, a vegetation composed of rainforests and dry Eucalyptus forests. Saltuarius cornutus and Saltuarius swaini are arboreal geckos, the remaining species live on rocky outcrops. They all need a high level of relative air humidity. The species from southern regions must hibernate for several months at temperatures varying between 8 °C (46 °F) and 15 °C (59 °F).
These species invariably lay soft-shelled eggs which are buried in humid substrates.
The following seven species are recognized as being valid.[3]
The former Saltuarius occultus Couper, Covacevich & Moritz, 1993, the long-necked northern leaf-tailed gecko, is now Orraya occultus.
Nota bene: A binomial authority in parentheses indicates that the species was originally described in a genus other than Saltuarius.

잎꼬리도마뱀붙이속(Saltuarius)은 호주에 서식하는 속이며, 보통 리프 테일 게코(leaf-tailed geckos)라고 부른다. 이 속은 1993년에 넓적꼬리도마뱀붙이속에 속했던 녀석들을 수용하기 위해 만들어졌다. 마다가스카르에 서식하는 납작꼬리도마뱀붙이속과 생김새가 굉장히 유사하지만, 유전적으로는 가깝지 않아서 수렴진화의 예시가 된다.
속명은 "숲의 수호자"를 의미하는 라틴어 단어 saltuarius에서 따왔다.[2]
잎꼬리도마뱀붙이속은 호주 동부의 해안가 지역, 우림, 건조한 유칼립투스 삼림에 서식한다. 북방잎꼬리와 남방잎꼬리는 수목성(en:arboreal) 도마뱀붙이류이고, 나머지는 암석으로 뒤덮인에서 살아간다. 다들 습도가 높아야 한다. 남부 지역에 서식하는 종은 기온이 8 - 15 °C 이하로 내려가면 몇 달 동안 동면해야 한다.
이 녀석들은 변함없이 습한 기질에 껍질이 부드러운 알을 낳는다.
다음과 같은 종들이 유효하다고 인정받았다.[3]
긴목북방잎꼬리도마뱀붙이는 Saltuarius occultus (쿠퍼, 코바체비치, 모리츠, 1993)에서 Orraya occultus 가 되었다.
주의사항(en:Nota bene): 삽입어구의 이명 명명자(en:Binominal nomenclature)는 원래 해당 종을 잎꼬리도마뱀붙이속(Saltuarius)과는 다른 속에 속한 것으로 기술했을지도 모른다.
