Crossobamon

Crossobamon is a genus of lizards of the gecko family Gekkonidae.

Species
The genus Crossobamon contains two species:


 * Crossobamon eversmanni (Wiegmann, 1834)
 * Crossobamon orientalis (Blanford, 1876)

The latter species is poorly described, and was formerly considered a member of the genus Stenodactylus.

Etymology
The genus name: Gr. κροσσοι krossoi "tassels, fringe"; βαινω bainō "to walk". The specific name, eversmanni, is in honor of German-born Russian biologist Alexander Eduard Friedrich Eversmann.

Geographic range
Geckos of the genus Crossobamon live in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Russia, and Central Asia.

Description
Of average size for geckos, about 16 cm long, the two species are similar in appearance.
