System

Double finger geckos were formerly as a family to the Gekkonidae. Today, they are, as they are considered sister group of Australian and New Guinea, legless fins feet ( Pygopodidae ), viewed as an independent family. Depending on the author of eleven to 14 genera to the double finger geckos are counted. Now a part of the earlier members of the subfamily Diplodactylinae genera forms another new family of gecko -like, the Carphodactylidae.
