Contents:
3 species, of which 1 (33.3%) is endemic.

Remarks:
Formerly included in
Alsophylax (e.g., Wermuth 1965). Revalidated by Szczerbak & Golubev (1977). Previously included
Trachydactylus. The reported presence of Bunopus in Egypt (e.g., Saleh 1997) is based on the type locality of blanfordii, which is in error. Already Schmidt (1939) pointed out that the types must have come from Arabia (Baha el Din 2006).
Distribution:
Middle East, SW. Asia.

Stenodactylus dunstervillei Murray (Szczerbak & Golubev 1996) |
Remarks:
Although this species was reported from Jammu & Kashmir by Sahi & Duda (1985), it was not listed in a subsequent work by the same authors (Sahi & Duda 1996).
It is unclear whether the authors intentionally removed the species from the state list in their latter work, but its presence in the state is regarded herein
as unverified.
Distribution:

(Rajasthan),
Pakistan.
