Endemism in the Reptile Fauna of Iran

Year: 2011

Type: article

Abstract: Iran contains 36 named endemic reptile species in 17 genera and seven families. The most endemic and speciose family is the Gekkonidae, followed by the Lacertidae. These two families collectively dominate with 22 species (or 60.1%) of the total endemic herpetofauna. Twenty one endemics are known only from a single location or restricted area within a single physiographic region. An analysis of endemicity is given in terms of systematics and distribution.
