Russian Bent-toed Gecko: Tenuidactylus fedtschenkoi (Strauch 1887) (Gekkonidae) ( Plate 14 )

Restricted to Central Asia and northern border areas of Pakistan and Iran. Tenuidactylus fedtschenkoi is fairly common in rocky mountain habitats on the peripheries of our two main steppe study areas, as well as on isolated rocky outcrops within the steppe. The species was almost always observed within a short distance of holes and crevasses in the rock face, where they retreated when dis- turbed. Tenuidactylus fedtschenkoi has been previously mapped as occurring in our study area ( Bannikov 1971; Sindaco and Jeremcenko 2008; BirdLife International 2016a,c).
