| Diagnosis | Diagnosis: Small size geckos, SVL 40 – 46 mm, non-regenerated TailL 58 – 61.8 mm; large strongly keeled trihedral dorsal tubercles forming 10 – 14 longitu- dinal rows at midbody, these parallel rows are divided by only 1 – 3 small scales (Fig. 3). The number of tubercles from occiput to the middle of sacrum is 20 – 24; tail with pronounced segments, that were formed by semi-rings of large greatly keeled oblong tubercles, subcaudal plates in single median series, which are wider than high, on the tip of non-regenerated tail the subcaudal scales are bifid; 18 – 23 abdominal scales across middle of belly, 92 – 112 midventral scales along trunk. Males have 16 – 22 pre- cloacal and femoral pores in single row, situated within the scales of the same size as the surrounding (Fig. 4). Preanal pores formed a row with obtuse angle. 8 – 9 infralabial scales, 9 – 11 supralabial (Fig. 5). The mental plate large, 3 pairs postmentals scales, first pair in broad contact (Fig. 6).

| Comment | Similar species: The new species is very closely related to Cyrtopodion belaense Nazarov et al. 2011, but differs from this species by 16 – 22 precloacal and femoral pores in single row, vs. 9 precloacal pores on C. belaense. For further comparisons see Nazarov et al. 2012. Distribution: See map in SMID et al. 2014 for distribution in Iran. Abundance: only known from its original description (Meiri et al. 2017). |
