- •
Acanthodactylus comprises over 40 species from North Africa to south-west Asia.
- •
Multilocus phylogenetic analyses present three clades and ten species-groups.
- •
The results present agreements, conflicts and changes to the current systematics.
- •
The genus probably originated in Africa radiating from the Oligocene onwards.
- •
Divergence and distribution likely resulted from regional environmental changes.
