- Cyrtopodion scabrum (Heyden, 1827) LECTOTYPE. SMF 8180, designated by Mertens (1967). TYPE LOCALITY. Tor, Sinai, Egypt and Abyssinian [= Eritrean] coast; restricted to Tor by Mertens (1967). DISTRIBUTION. West from Egypt along the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, Arabian Peninsula, Iraq, Syria, S Turkey, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, NW India. DISTRIBUTION IN IRAN. Fig. 42. Most of Iran including the Mesopotamian Plain in the west through the Zagros and the central Plateau continuously to Afghanistan and Pakistan in the east. A recent record from the logistically important city of Rasht, Gilan Prov. could be explained as a range expansion facilitated by human mediated dispersal (Rastegar-Pouyani et al. 2010a). HABITAT. A typical synanthropic gecko with strong affinity to human habitations. In Iran found on walls of inhabited and abandoned buildings, brick fences, garden walls or in dumping grounds; also dry scrubland and stony hillsides where it seeks refuge in crevices and fissures (Anderson 1999; Khan 2006). REMARKS. Based on available phylogenetic studies there are apparently some yet undescribed species closely related to C. scabrum (Červenka et al. 2008; Bauer et al. 2013). REFERENCES. Anderson (1999); Červenka et al. (2008, 2010); Fathinia et al. (2009); Rastegar-Pouyani et al. (2010a); Bauer et al. (2013).
