Eublepharis Gray, 1827

For the time being there are five valid species within this genus, three of which occur in Iran ( Uetz 2013). Mutual relationships among Eublepharis were partially resolved by Grismer (1991), who, by using morphological characters, identified E. turcmenicus as a sister species to E. macularius ; the clade of these two is further sister to E. angramainyu . Despite several attempts to reconstruct the phylogeny of the family Eublepharidae using genetic data, the relationships within Eublepharis have never been resolved because only E. macularius and E. turcmenicus were included in the analyses ( Ota et al. 1999; Jonniaux & Kumazawa 2008).
