Remarks.
The Rough Bent-toed Gecko has a wide range of distribution across the Middle East, reaching the coastal regions of the Red Sea ( Sindaco and Jeremčenko 2008). It was reported from several localities in the eastern province ( Haas 1957; Martens 1996; Aloufi et al. 2023). It is believed this species was introduced by human activities to the Arabian Peninsula (Carranza et al. 2021). It was found along with Hemidactylus persicus in agricultural areas in Tarout Island.
In the islands of the Arabian Gulf, this species was reported from Auhha Island, Kuwait ( Amr et al. 2021), and Sir Bani Yas, Arzanah, and Zirku islands in the UAE ( Soorae 2004; Bourquin 2011).
