{{Taxobox | name = Eublepharinae | image = Coleonyx_Variegatus.jpg | image_width = 240px | image_caption = The [[Western Banded gecko]] (''Coleonyx Variegatus'') | regnum = [[Animal]]ia | phylum = [[Chordate|Chordata]] | classis = [[Reptile|Reptilia]] | ordo = [[Squamata]] | subordo = [[Lacertilia]] | infraordo = [[Gekkota]] | familia = [[Gekkonidae]] | subfamilia = '''Eublepharinae''' }} The '''Eublepharinae''' are one of the five [[subfamilies]] of the [[Gekkonidae]], or [[gecko]]s. The Eublepharinae subfamily has 27 [[species]] in five [[genera]]. Also called '''eyelid geckos''', the eublepharines have more simple features than other geckos. For example, they don't have the ability to climb surfaces. Unlike other geckos, they also have movable [[eyelid]]s. They are generally [[Nocturnal animals|active at night]] or at [[twilight]]. These lizards often eat [[insects]] and similar creatures. They lay a pair of leathery [[Egg (biology)|eggs]], and, in most species, the gender of the young is determined by the temperature of the egg; just like [[crocodile]]s.<ref name=EoR>{{cite book |editor=Cogger, H.G. & Zweifel, R.G.|author= Bauer, Aaron M.|year=1998|title=Encyclopedia of Reptiles and Amphibians|url=https://archive.org/details/encyclopediaofre0000unse_h2i0|publisher= Academic Press|location=San Diego|pages= [https://archive.org/details/encyclopediaofre0000unse_h2i0/page/146 146]–147|isbn= 0-12-178560-2}}</ref> The subfamily contains the following [[genus|genera]]: *''[[Coleonyx]]'' (seven species) *''[[Eublepharis]]'' (five species) *''[[Goniurosaurus]]'' (11 species) *''[[Hemitheconyx]]'' (two species) *''[[Holodactylus]]'' (two species) ==References== {{Reflist}}<!--added above categories/infobox footers by script-assisted edit--> [[Category:Lizards]] {{biology-stub}}
