Diagnosis	Unfortunately we had to temporarily remove additional information as this was scraped by multiple AI companies who sell that data to their customers. These details, e.g. detailed descriptions or comparisons (about 719 characters), are available for collaborators and contributors. Please contact us for details.
Comment	Abundance: Apparently only known from the type description. Size: not given in original description; not available fide S. Meiri (pers. comm., 17 Aug 2020). Synonymy: Molecular data suggest that C. mansarulum may be conspecific with C. rohtasfortai, called the commonest sandstone gecko in Pakistan (Khan 2008b), in which case the name C. mansarulum (Duda & Sahi 1978) has priority (Agarwal et al. 2014). The original paper about Cyrtopodion mansarulum (Duda & Sahi 1978) consists of a single paragraph (the entire paper was never published, Sahi pers. comm., cited in Agarwal et al. 2014); however, the authors did formally diagnose the species and the nomen is thus valid.
Etymology	Unknown. Not given by Duda & Sahi 1978.
