| Diagnosis | Diagnosis: A Gehyra with small body size (average 40 mm, 35–46 mm SVL), no flap of skin between limbs, dorsal half of rostral deeply furrowed with groove, 1 internasal scale present or absent, 2 postnasals of similar size, first supralabial slightly taller and narrower than second, 2 pairs of chin shields, snout short and convex in lateral view, first digit of manus and pes without claw, 5 or 6 divided subdigital lamellae on fourth toe, proximal lamellae usually separated by 1–3 granular scales (10% lack granules), mode of 15 (range 10–19) pre-cloacal pores in males arranged in shallow chevron pointing anteriorly. Background colouration in life dull tan to brown with scattered small pale spots and larger dark blotches or irregular lines on dorsum, often forming short transverse rows. |
| Comment | Habitat. This species has been collected from low rocks and rock faces in sandstone rock formations in open savannah woodlands with spinifex. Occasionally collected from trees, but only when in association with rocky outcrops. It is broadly sympatric with the larger-bodied species G. multiporosa, G. occidentalis, and G. pseudopunctata sp. nov. and with the more similarly sized G. spheniscus in the southwest Kimberley, and overlaps geographically with G. kimberleyi and true G. nana in the southern and eastern Kimberley. Distribution: see map in Doughty et al. 2018: 203 (Fig. 1). |
| Etymology | granulum (Latin) refers to the granular scales between the proximal subdigital lamellae that characterises this species. |
