The Socotra rock gecko (Pristurus sokotranus) is a species of lizard in the Sphaerodactylidae family found on Socotra Island.[2] Phylogenetic studies have shown that P. sokotranus is paraphyletic,[3] and DNA barcoding reveals about 9% intraspecific divergence at the cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene, consistent with the presence of cryptic lineages.[4]
