''Agamura persica'' (Duméril, 1856), commonly known as the Persian spider gecko, hails from semidesert regions of Iran, Pakistan, and Afghanistan, where temperatures range from extreme summer day highs to extreme winter night lows.〔Szczerbak, N.N. & Golubev, M.L. (1986). ''Gecko Fauna of the USSR and Contiguous Regions''. Kiev: Naukova Dumka. 〕〔Anderson, Steven C. (1999). ''The Lizards of Iran''. Ithaca, New York: Society for the Study of Amphibians and Reptiles. 〕〔Meyer, Michael (2004). ''Agamura persica'' - der Spinnengecko aus dem Mittleren Osten. ''Draco'', 18(5), 59-63.〕 Its long, slender legs and tail give it a spider-like impression and allow it to climb in its rocky habitat. The toes are slender, clawed, and angularly bent. It shares this feature with a number of other species and is classified as an angular-toed gecko. Two other species, ''Agamura femoralis'' (Smith, 1933) and ''Agamura misonnei'' (De Witte, 1973), are commonly placed in the genus, but Anderson (1999) and Khan (2003) referred them to the genus ''Rhinogecko''.〔Bauer, A. M., et al. (2013). (A preliminary phylogeny of the Palearctic naked-toed geckos (Reptilia: Squamata: Gekkonidae) with taxonomic implications. ) ''Zootaxa'' 3599(4), 301-24.〕 ==Diagnostic features== Females range from 42 to 77 mm (SVL), with a tail of 34 to 59 mm, while males range from 35 to 65 mm, with a tail of 27 to 59 mm.〔 ''Agamura persica'' has a light-grey upper body with yellow pigment and five dark crossbars almost as broad as the interspaces, with 9 to 10 on the tail and a flecked grey belly.〔〔Khan, M. S. (2006). Amphibians and Reptiles of Pakistan. Malabar, Florida: Krieger Publishing. 〕 Some colour and morphological differences exist between localities, but all are distinctly agamuroid. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Agamura persica」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
