CommentSynonymy partly after KHALIKOV & ANANJEVA (pers. comm.). The original proposal of Eublepharis turcmenicus was published in 1977, but a full, formal description, including the type locality and holotype designation, was published by Darevsky only in 1978 (Darevsky, 1978).

Distribution: See map in SMID et al. 2014 for distribution in Iran.
