| Distribution | SC Iran (Province Fars) Type locality: Fars Province, Persia. |
| Reproduction | oviparous |
| Types | Holotype: ZFMK 27095, Syntype: ZMH R04348 (formerly no. 849 (4335); formerly 8 syntypes deposited in the “Zoologisches Museum der Universität Göttingen” (Böhme & Bischoff 1984). The designation of a lectotype by SHCHERBAK & GOLUBEV (1986) is invalid as WERNER (1917) himself had designated already the holotype. |
| Diagnosis | Diagnosis: Anterior pair of enlarged postmehtals in contact; no subfemoral tubercles; males with four preanal pores; subcaudal scales one head-width behind vent enlarged, plate-like, in single median series; snout length 1-1/2 times diameter of eye; dorsal tubercles distinctly smaller than interspaces, rounded; peritoneum darkly pigmented; limbs and tail thin, attenuate; 10-16 abdominal scales across middle of belly (6-8 scales across belly in distance equal to length of snout). (Leviton et al. 1992) Unfortunately we had to temporarily remove additional information as this was scraped by multiple AI companies who sell that data. However, these details, e.g. detailed descriptions (about about .54 pages) are available for collaborators and contributors. Please contact us if you need any of this material. |
| Comment | Synonymy: Has been synonymized with Gymnodactylus (=Cyrtopodion) agamuroides by WETTSTEIN 1951 (cited in WERMUTH 1965). Distribution: See map in SMID et al. 2014 for distribution in Iran. Nomenclature: the specific epithet gastropholis is a noun in apposition and not an adjective! |
