Eublepharis is a genus of terrestrial geckos native to eastern and southwestern Asia. The genus was first described by the British zoologist John Edward Gray in 1827. The etymology of their name is 'eu' = good (=true) |'blephar' = eyelid, and all have fully functional eyelids.{{Cite book |author=Hermann Seufer |title=The eyelash geckos care, breeding and natural history |year=2005 |isbn=978-3-9804207-8-5 |publisher=Karlsruhe Kirschner und Seufer |oclc=181523397 |url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/181523397}}{{page needed|date=October 2021}} Members of this genus are found in eastern and southwestern Asia. These geckos are sturdily built. Their tail is shorter than their snout–vent length, and their body is covered with numerous wart-like bumps. The toes do not have adhesive lamellae or membranes (Eublepharis cannot climb like their other gecko cousins).{{page needed|date=October 2021}} Like all members of Eublepharidae, they are primarily nocturnal.{{page needed|date=October 2021}}{{Cite book|last=Vitt|first=Laurie J.|url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/839312807|title=Herpetology : an introductory biology of amphibians and reptiles|publisher=Academic Press|others=Janalee P.
