Range extension of Misonne’s swollen-nose gecko, Rhinogecko misonnei de Witte, 1973 (Sauria: Geckonidae) in Iran

Rhinogecko misonnei (de Witte, 1973) is a species of geckonid lizard distributed in Iran and Pakistan. This species was called Agamura misonnei by Szczerbak and Golubev in 1993. Witte (1973) was the first to introduce this species from Dasht-e-Lut in eastern Iran (30˚13 N, 58˚47 E). The last report of this species that of Moradi et al. (2009) in the western Dasht-e-Lut in eastern Iran (30˚29 N, 57˚44 E). Here, we report a new record that shows a wider distribution of Rhinogecko misonnei in southeastern Iran. An adult specimen of this species (ZMSBUK703) was collected during field work from Rigan county, southeastern Kerman Province.
