Laudakia Gray, 1845 — sensu lato

The genus Laudakia was recently subdivided into three genera ( Stellagama , Paralaudakia , and Laudakia ) by Baig et al. (2012). Although Pyron et al. (2013) used Laudakia in the more inclusive sense, we here follow the more integrative concept by Baig et al. (2012) because of the strong differences in morphology, anatomy, dentition, and cranial anatomy among the three monophyletic lineages within the laudakian agamas.
