Tenuidactylus caspius (Eichwald, 1831)

Distribution in Afghanistan.

This species is known from northern parts of the country (provinces Badakhshan, Baghlan, Balkh, Herat, Jowzjan) and north-eastern (Kabul Prov.; Wagner et al. 2016).

Our records.

Camp Mike Spann Chapel, Mazar-i-Sharif, Balkh (3 September 2010), one adult individual observed in a building of the camp ( Fig. 6I ).

Remarks.

This species is already known from Mazar-i-Sharif and Balkh Province. Therefore, we did not map this record. The observation and species status is correctly described in Regan (2017) on p. 26 (upper photo).
