Saurodactylus brosseti

Südlicher Echsenfingergecko

Remarks: Now restricted to Morocco. Previously included the populations now assigned to elmoudenii, harrisii, slimanii, and splendidus (Javanmardi, Vogler & Joger 2019). Formerly regarded itself as a synonym of mauritanicus (e.g., Bons & Pasteur 1957). Suggested to represent a separate species by some authors (e.g., Bons & Geniez 1996; Schleich, Kästle & Kabisch 1996; Padial 2006). Validity confirmed by Rato & Harris (2008). A record from Mauritania (Mahe 1985 in Geniez & Bons 1996) was based on misidentified Tropiocolotes tripolitanus (Padial 2006).
Distribution: Morocco.
