Bauer, Aaron M., Masroor, Rafaqat, Titus-Mcquillan, James, Heinicke, Matthew P., Daza, Juan D. & Jackman, Todd R., 2013, A preliminary phylogeny of the Palearctic naked-toed geckos (Reptilia: Squamata: Gekkonidae) with taxonomic implications, Zootaxa 3599 (4), pp. 301-324 : 318

Cyrtodactylus (170+ species, 12 of which — listed here — have been variously considered as allied to Palearctic naked-toed geckos)

Composition: C. battalensis (Khan) , C. dattanensis (Khan) , C. fasciolatus (Blyth) , C. himalayanus (Duda & Sahi) , C. lawderanus (Stoliczka) , C. malcolmsmithi (Constable) , C. markuscombaii (Darevsky, Helfenberger, Orlov & Shah) , C. martinstolli (Darevsky, Helfenberger, Orlov & Shah) , C. medogensis (Zhao & Li) , C. nepalensis (Schleich & Kästle) , C. tibetanus (Boulenger) , C. zhaoermii Shi & Zhao

Distribution: southern Tibet, southern flanks of Himalayas from northern India and Nepal eastwards to Southeast Asia, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Philippines, New Guinea, Solomon Islands, northern Australia

Comments: Although Khan & Rösler (1999) included lawderanus in their stoliczkai group of “Circum- Himalayan” Cyrtodactylus, Khan subsequently moved it to the “ tibetinus [sic] group” which he later (Khan 2003c) named Siwaligekko . All Siwaligekko are here considered to be Cyrtodactylus , although the name may be retained at the subgeneric level for members of this basal grade of Tibeto-Himalayan geckos (see text). Cyrtopodion medogensis is tentatively included in this genus. Originally described as a Tenuidactylus , it has recently been moved to Cyrtodactylus by Li et al. (2010). Although body proportions and its distribution in eastern Tibet are consistent with Cyrtodactylus , body and especially tail tuberculation are uncharacteristically pronounced for this genus.
