| Distribution | W Yemen Type locality: Mafraq Mocca (Mafraq al-Mukha), km 13.5, Republic of Yemen. |
| Reproduction | |
| Types | Holotype: ZFMK 48681, adult male, leg. B. Schätti, 5.–6.IV.1988 |
| Diagnosis | Differential diagnosis: Uromastyx shobraki is distinguished from U. thomasi and U. princeps by the significantly longer tail. From all remaining species of the genus (with the exception of the U. ocellata group) by the arrangement of the annuli of the tail: last 8–21 forming a continuous scale row each (U. ocellata group) vs. 2–5 whorls forming a continuous scale row (all other Uromastyx species). From U. ocellata, U. ornata and U. macfadyenithe species differs in lacking femoral- and preanal pores. |
| Comment | Uromastyx shobraki differs from U. benti in having smaler scales around midbody (188.92 +/- 13.22 in U. shobraki vs. 160.05 +/- 8.98 in U. benti) and smaller ventrals (86.64 +/-4.88 in U. shobraki vs. 74 +/-4.02 in U. benti). U. shobraki is differentiated from U. yemenensis not only by its larger maximum size (393 mm in U. shobrakivs. 337 mm in U. yemenensis) but also in different colour pattern and in significant genetic differences. |
| Etymology | U. shobraki is named in honour of Dr. Mohammed Shobrak, Director of the “National Wildlife Research Centre, NWRC” in Taif, Saudi Arabia, for his outstanding achievements regarding the conservation of Arabian Wildlife. |
