Other common names:
Indogekko: Stone Geckos
Remarks:
Previously included
Mediodactylus and
Tenuidactylus, now considered valid genera. Formerly, also included Siwaligekko, now included in
Cyrtodactylus. The genus Cyrtopodion itself was previously included in
Gymnodactylus (e.g., Wermuth 1965) and, more recently, in
Cyrtodactylus (e.g., Kluge 1983). Validity as a separate genus recommended by Macey, Ananjeva, Wang & Papenfuss (2000) and confirmed by Bauer, Masroor, Titus-McQuillan, Heinicke, Daza & Jackman (2013). One species (spinicauda) was previously placed in
Alsophylax, and another (agamuroides) in
Agamura.
Khan (2000, 2002) recognized Mesodactylus as a valid genus.
