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. 2013).
