Amalosia is a genus of lizards in the family Diplodactylidae endemic to Australia. It includes four species:[1] All species of this genus were previously included with the genus Oedura until 2012, when Oliver et al. transferred four species to this genus and erected two new monotypic genera, Hesperoedura for Oedura reticulata and Nebulifera for Oedura robusta [2] Some taxonomic authorities still place all four species in the former genus. All species are native to Australia.
