DistributionNE Iran, N Afghanistan, SE Turkmenistan, elevation 1000-2440 m.

Type locality: “Iran, Khorasan Province, Fariman“ (neotype locality)

Type locality: “Ferimun in Persia orientali” [Fariman, North Khorasan Province, Iran, 35.71 N 59.85 E] (fide Ananjeva et al. 2020)

mucronata: “Langarak, 60 km east of Mashad, on the route of the Sarakhs.”

Reproductionoviparous 
TypesLectotype: ZISP 8760 (designated by RASTEGAR-POUYANI & NILSON 2002)
Holotype: ZISP 8761 [pallida] 
DiagnosisDiagnosis (Paralaudakia erythrogaster). Head and body depressed; olivaceous with irregular black spots; scales on the body and tail with strong ridges and spines, even ventral scales may be carinated; several scattered enlarged mucronate scales may constitute a patch on flanks; dorsolateral-fold marked with groups of enlarged spinose scales; tail segment of two; callous glands present [BAIG et al. 2012: 232]. 
CommentSynonymy partly after SINDACO & JEREMCENKO 2008 and BAIG et al. 2012: 232. The nomen ‘gaster’ is a noun and not flectible. Therefore, the name ‘erythrogaster’ stays as masculine noun also with feminine Laudakia.

Distribution: See map in SMID et al. 2014 for distribution in Iran.
