Family Phyllodactylidae

This family is represented by one genus and one species, Ptyodactylus hasselquistii . Recent molecular studies revealed that the genus Ptyodactylus in the Arabian Peninsula consists of two species complexes for P. hasselquistii , as eastern and western clades ( Metallinou et al. 2015). A new species, Ptyodactylus ananjevae , was described from Al Mudawwarah, southern Jordan, very close to Tabuk Province, so it is most likely to also occur in Saudi Arabia ( Nazarov et al. 2013).
