Eublepharis hardwickii Gray |
Remarks:
Although the type locality (Chittagong) is in Bangladesh, presence of hardwickii in the country needs confirmation (Smith 1935; Seufer, Kaverkin & Kirschner (eds.) 2005). Presence in Uttar Pradesh also lacks evidence, although listed for the province by several authors (e.g., Murthy 1985). Chandra & Gupta's (2005) record from Madhya Pradesh is tentatively assigned to satpuraensis.
Distribution:
India
(Andhra Pradesh,
Bihar,

1976 | |
Eublepharis macularius montanus Börner |
Remarks:
Presence in Iran is uncertain.
The species is provisionally included for the country herein, following Kamali (2020).
However, it has not been recorded since Zarudny (1903), and there are no voucher specimens available
(Rastegar-Pouyani, Kami, Rajabzadeh, Shafiei & Anderson 2008; Smid, Moravec, Kodym, Kratochvil, Yousefkhani, Rastegar-Pouyani & Frynta 2014).
Presence in Gujarat (e.g., Vyas 1998) is considered erroneous, since it was not included for the state by Patel & Vyas (2019).
A record from Bangladesh (Sarker & Sarker 1985) is undoubtedly in error.
The range limit in India, as well as the range of other Indian species still needs clarification (Seufer, Kaverkin & Kirschner (eds.) 2005).
This includes a record from Karnataka (Daniels 2000), which seems questionable.
Distribution:
