Agamura is a genus of geckos.[1]

Species

Three Agamura species are recognized:[1]

  • Agamura cruralis (Blanford, 1874)
  • Agamura kermanensis Hosseinian-Yousefkhani, Aliabadian, Rastegar-Pouyani, Darvish, Shafiei, & Sehhatisabet, 2018
  • Agamura persica (Duméril, 1856) – Persian spider gecko

Geckos of the genus Rhinogekko have sometimes been classified in genus Agamura[2] but the genus is currently considered distinct from the latter.[2][3] These genera share a number of characteristics: straight to slightly bent toes, weakly tuberculate skin, and long, thin limbs and tail.[2]
