| Reproduction | oviparous |
| Types | Holotype: NTM R9878, collected M.E. King, 17.vi.1973. Paratypes: AMS (AM) R107566–69, c. 5km E Barry Caves on Barkly Hwy, NT (D.C. Metcalfe & R.J. Brown, 17.v.1980); R107570–71 c. 5km E Barry Caves on Barkly Hwy, NT (D.C. Metcalfe & R.J. Brown, 18.vi.1980). |
| Diagnosis | Diagnosis: Distinguished from other Australian Gehyra by a combination of modally 7 divided scansors under the expanded portion of the fourth toe, generally two pairs of enlarged chin shields, with the median (postmental) pair being relatively small, second infralabial notched and often in contact with postmental, low numbers of labial scales (nine or fewer supralabials, eight or fewer infralabials), a dorsal colour pattern combining pinkish brown to rufous colouring (in life) patterned by circular whitish spots and irregular short black flecks, and a karyotype of 2n=42a (King 1982). This diagnosis applies to populations of Gehyra genetically assignable to the “minuta clade” of Sistrom et al. (2013). [HUTCHINSON et al. 2014: 235] |
| Comment | Group: Member of the Gehyra variegata-punctata species complex. |
| Etymology | From the Latin minutus (small), in reference to the small size of the species. (G. Shea, pers. comm., 9 Feb 2024) |
