Abstract
The gecko genus Carinatogecko comprises two species endemic to the foothills of the Zagros Mountains, in Iran and Iraq. The aim of this study was to clarify the phylogenetic relationships of the genus by analyzing partial sequences of the mitochondrial 12S rRNA and cytochrome b genes.
All phylogenetic analyses performed support placing the genus Carinatogecko within the genus Mediodactylus.
