Diagnosis	Diagnosis: A large (mean SVL 94 mm, max 104 mm) species in the O. marmorata complex, with a moderately broad head (HW/SVL 0.18–0.21), moderately long body length (Trk/SVL 0.42–0.53), tail moderately long (TL/SVL 0.65–0.80), narrower than head and roughly circular in cross-section, rostral 25–60% divided, apical lamellae wide (TW/SVL 0.027–0.036), subdigital lamellae in a flared series wider than apical pair on fingers 3–4, 13–26 precloacal pores in adult males, and basic dorsal colouration (especially on juveniles) usually including 5 light transverse bands.
Comment	Habitat: relatively massive ranges, rocky outcrops and breakaways, caves and gorges, with a few occurrences on trees and one under tin. OLIVER & DOUGHTY 2016 have only observed this species on rocky outcrops with large boulders (Pilbara) or on cliff faces (Kennedy Range).
Etymology	Fimbria is Latin for fringe in reference to the lateral fringes of expanded lamellae along the sides of the digits. Used as a noun in apposition.
