Tenuidactylus (7 species)
Composition: T. caspius (Eichwald) , T. dadunensis (Shi & Zhao) , T. elongatus (Blanford) , T. fedtschenkoi (Strauch) , T. longipes (Nikolsky) (T. l. microlepis (Lantz)), C. turcmenicus Darevsky , T. voraginosus (Leviton & Anderson)
Distribution: Azerbaijan, southwestern Russia, southern Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Iran, Afghanistan, northern Pakistan, northwestern China, southern Mongolia, introduced in Armenia, Kyrgyzstan.
Comments: Cyrtopodion elongatum and its former subspecies, C. voraginosum were assigned to Indogekko by Khan (2003c), but the position of the former in our phylogeny is consistent with these taxa being members of Tenuidactylus . We have retained Szczerbak & Golubev’s (1986, 1996) subspecific use of T. l. microlepis (see also Anderson 1999), but we regard T. voraginosus as a distinct species. Based on the similarities between T. elongatus and the recently described Cyrtopodion daduense we tentatively place the latter species in Tenuidactylus as well, as T. daduensis .
