Cyrtodactylus (170+ species, 12 of which — listed here — have been variously considered as allied to Palearctic naked-toed geckos)

Composition: C. battalensis (Khan), C. dattanensis (Khan), C. fasciolatus (Blyth), C. himalayanus (Duda & Sahi), C. lawderanus (Stoliczka), C. malcolmsmithi (Constable), C. markuscombaii (Darevsky, Helfenberger, Orlov & Shah), C. martinstolli (Darevsky, Helfenberger, Orlov & Shah), C. medogensis (Zhao & Li), C. nepalensis (Schleich & Kästle), C. tibetanus (Boulenger), C. zhaoermii Shi & Zhao

Distribution: southern Tibet, southern flanks of Himalayas from northern India and Nepal eastwards to Southeast Asia, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Philippines, New Guinea, Solomon Islands, northern Australia

Comments: Although Khan & Rösler (1999) included lawderanus in their stoliczkai group of “Circum- Himalayan” Cyrtodactylus, Khan subsequently moved it to the “ tibetinus [sic] group” which he later (Khan 2003c) named Siwaligekko . All Siwaligekko are here considered to be Cyrtodactylus, although the name may be retained at the subgeneric level for members of this basal grade of Tibeto-Himalayan geckos (see text). Cyrtopodion medogensis is tentatively included in this genus. Originally described as a Tenuidactylus, it has recently been moved to Cyrtodactylus by Li et al. (2010). Although body proportions and its distribution in eastern Tibet are consistent with Cyrtodactylus, body and especially tail tuberculation are uncharacteristically pronounced for this genus.
