Gekkonidae

Alsophylax Fitzinger, 1843

The genus Alsophylax contains six species distributed across Central Asia (BAUER et al. 2013). Alsophylax pipiens (Pallas, 1814) occurs throughout western Russia and Kazakhstan to north-western China ( ANANJEVA & ORLOV 1995). It is the only species of the genus recorded in Mongolia where it is widely distributed, especially in the southern arid zones ( SZCZERBAK & GOLUBEV 1986, ANANJEVA et al. 1997, TERBISH et al. 2006). No phylogeographic studies have been performed of this widely distributed species, and also, no subspecies are known.

The HNHM collection holds nine jars with specimens collected by Kaszab and four specimens collected by other researchers (see Fig. 5 and Appendix) .
