Cyrtopodion gastropholis ( Werner, 1917)

HOLOTYPE. ZFMK 27095 (Nr. 74 in the original description).

TYPE LOCALITY. Fars Prov., Iran.

DISTRIBUTION. Endemic to Iran.

DISTRIBUTION IN IRAN. Fig. 35 . Bushehr, Hormozgan, Fars, and Kohgiluyeh and Boyer Ahmad Prov. The distribution of C. gastropholis was reviewed by Ahmadzadeh et al. (2011). The authors doubt the record from Hormozgan Prov. ( Červenka et al. 2008) to belong to this species. Nevertheless, the occurrence of C. gastropholis in central Hormozgan Prov. is independently confirmed by a CAS record from the vicinity of Bandar Abbas (CAS 86370).

HABITAT. Anderson (1999) collected his specimen on a wall of a mud-brick building; otherwise there are no habitat-related data to this species.

REMARKS. Assigned to the genus Agamura by Szczerbak & Golubev (1986). Ahmadzadeh et al. (2011) put right the problems associated with the spelling of the species epithet. The name “ gastropholis ” is a noun in apposition and must not be conjugated to “ gastrophole ”, as some authors do ( Anderson 1999; Bauer et al. 2013).
