Microgecko
Nikolsky, 1907
The genus
Microgecko
contains four species and is restricted to
Iran
,
Pakistan
, and
India
. Its former rank under
Tropiocolotes
has been intensely debated in the herpetological literature (
Anderson 1961
,
1999
;
Minton & Anderson 1965
;
Guibé 1966a
;
Minton
et al.
1970
;
Kluge 1983
;
Leviton
et al.
1992
;
Szczerbak & Golubev 1996
), but recent phylogenetic studies clearly show the distinctness of these genera (
Bauer
et al.
2013
;
Pyron
et al.

).
