Laudakia tuberculata (Gray, 1827:218)

1827 Agama tuberculata Gray In Hardwicke and Gray, A synopsis of the species of saurian reptiles, collect- ed in India by Major-General Hardwicke. Zoological Journal, London 3:213–229.

HOLOTYPE.— BMNH 1946.8.28. 17 (formerly BMNH 60 .3.19.1377) from “ India,” probably incorrectly restricted to “Bengal” by Smith (1935). Although not explicitly stated, the description appears to be based on a single specimen and Gray (1845) noted only a single specimen from Hardwicke in the BMNH collection.

SYNONYMS.— Stellio indicus Blyth, 1853 from “Mirzapore [= Uttar Pradesh, northern India] and Wuzeerabad [= in North-West Frontier Province, northern Pakistan]”; Barycephalus sykesii Günther, 1860 from “Simla, Himalaya”.

LOCALITIES.— Afghanistan [without detailed locality] ( ZFMK 8615, ZMB 12477) [see pl. 2, fig. 8 for distribution].

REMARKS.— Brück (1968) provided a record of L. tuberculata (referenced in Sindaco and Jeremčenko [2008]) from “dem Gebiete um Djelalabad” [= vicinity of Jalalabad], so maybe the specimens mentioned herein also originate from this area. However, as this is not a precise locality it is not mapped here.
