1892 Gymnodactylus watsoni Murray , The Zoology of Beloochistan and Southern Afghanistan. (Reptiles and Batrachia). Education Society’s Press, Bombay, India, 83 pp.

TYPE (S).— Not located, from “Quetta”, Pakistan .

SYNONYMS.— Gymnodactylus ingoldby Procter, 1923 from “Ladha”, South Waziristan, Pakistan.

LOCALITIES.— Dar-e-Nur, vic. Shewrak [Nangarhar Prov., 1200 m] ( ZMK 2583 View Materials ) ; Khost [32°21′N, 69°57′E, Paktia Prov.] ( CAS 121045–53 About CAS , CAS 96174–78 About CAS , ZFMK 8669–71 About ZFMK ); Jalalabad ( CAS 115948 About CAS , FMNH 161165–66 About FMNH , FMNH 161168 About FMNH ); Jalalabad, University ground ( AFG 01–07 , MMB 28456–57 View Materials ) [see pl. 6, fig. 4 for distribution] GoogleMaps .

REMARKS.— The species is known only from Afghanistan and Pakistan. Brück (1968) mentioned “ Gymnodactylus kachensis kachensis Stolitczka, 1872 ” from “dem Gebiete um Djelalabad [vic. of Jalalabad]” referring to a specimen of the Jakeš collection. Inasmuch as Cyrtopodion watsoni was recognized as subspecies of “ Gymnodactylus kachensis [sic]” at this time and as no other specimens of C. kachhensis are known from Afghanistan, and as it is not possible to verify the identification because the whereabout of the Jakeš collection is unknown, we refer this record to C. watsoni . However, there is also specimen catalogued as C. kachhensis in the BMNH collection (BMNH 1887.6.17. 1) that seems to be referable to C. watsoni .
