Pristurus

• Ali's Semaphore Gecko Pristurus ali

  The ear opening of the adult male described is round. The belly scales of the adult male described are flat and clearly overlap. The claws of the adult male described are relatively shallow and weakly recurved. It is active by day and can also be active after sunset. It has been found on rocks, boulders, and tree trunks. It signals with push-ups, by inflating and compressing its body and throat sideways, and by curling and waving its tail over its back. It waits for ants and other arthropods to come near before catching them. It has been recorded only in the Eastern Hajar Mountains of Oman, from 919 to 2,046 metres above sea level.
