Siwaligekko [see Cyrtodactylus ]

Comments: We synonymize Siwaligekko with Cyrtodactylus based on our phylogenetic results and those of Wood et al. ( 2012). Siwaligekko is applicable at a subgeneric level to those species most closely related to C. battalensis ; however, given the uncertainty of relationships among basal Cyrtodactylus (recovered as paraphyletic in this paper), we suggest that Siwaligekko be retained as a subgeneric name for all members of the genus occurring in the western Himalayan region. Khan’s ( 2003) inclusion of Geckoella in Siwaligekko is not supported, but this genus is also embedded within Cyrtodactylus sensu lato (Wood et al. 2012) .
