Etymology edit

The specific name, stoliczkai, is in honor of Moravian zoologist Ferdinand Stoliczka.[3]

Geographic range edit

A. stoliczkai is found in India (Kashmir, Karoo/Dras, Ladakh) and western China.[2]

The type locality given by Steindachner is "bei Karoo, nördlich von Dras, Kashmir ".[2]

Habitat edit

The preferred natural habitats of A. stoliczkai are desert, grassland, and rocky areas, at altitudes of 2,300–3,700 m (7,500–12,100 ft).[1]

Reproduction edit

A. stoliczkai is oviparous.[2]

Taxonomy edit

Most authorities, most recently Bauer et al. 2013, now consider Böhme's mountain gecko to be a subspecies of this species (A. s. boehmei).[4]
