Crossobamon is a genus of lizards of the gecko family Gekkonidae.

Contents

Species

The genus Crossobamon contains two species:

  • Crossobamon eversmanni (Wiegmann, 1834)
  • Crossobamon orientalis (Blanford, 1876)
  • The latter species is poorly described, and was formerly considered a member of the genus Stenodactylus.

    Etymology

    The specific name, eversmanni, is in honor of German-born Russian biologist Alexander Eduard Friedrich Eversmann.

    Geographic range

    Geckos of the genus Crossobamon live in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Russia, and Central Asia.

    Description

    Of average size for geckos, about 16 cm (6.3 in) long, the two species are similar in appearance.
