Comment	Distribution: Has been erroneously (?) reported from India. Reports from Socotra actually refer to Haemodracon riebecki. Subspecies: Ptyodactylus homolepis socotranus STEINDACHNER 1902 is a synonym of Haemodracon riebeckii. Abundance: only known from the type locality (Meiri et al. 2017).
Etymology	Apparently named after Greek homos (ὁμῶς), equally, likewise, alike + Greek lepis (λεπίς), scale.
