CommentSynonymy: Not listed by Engelmann et al. (1993).

Type species: Stenodactylus scaber HEYDEN 1827 is the type species of the genus Cyrtopodion FITZINGER 1843.

Distribution: See map in SMID et al. 2014 for distribution in Iran and map in Burriel-Carranza et al. 2019 for map in UAE. See Bar et al. 2021 for a map.

Comparisons: for a comparison of characters across members of the genus see Patel et al. 2023.

Group: The scabrum group contains Cyrtopodion scabrum, C. watsoni, C. kachhense, C. chitralensis, and maybe C. brevipes (fide Anderson 1999: 150). Anderson also distinguishes the agamuroides group (agamuroides, gastrophole), the caspium group (caspium, fedtschenkoi, montiumsalsorum, longipes,
turcmenicum), and the kotschyi group (kotschyi, C. russowii, C. heterocercum, sagittifer, spinicauda). 
EtymologyNamed after Latin scaběre = scratching, or the adjective scaber, scabra = rough, referring to the rough surface or skin, including keeled scales.

The genus was named after Greek κυρτος kyrtos "curved", from κυπτω kuptō "to stoop", and Greek pous, podos = "foot”. The name Cyrtopodion is neuter, hence the specific epithet has to be scabrum (fide CROTHER 2000, Bauer 2019).
