Cyrtodactylus is a diverse genus of Asian geckos, commonly known as bent-toed geckos or bow-fingered geckos. It has at least 195 described species at present, which makes it the largest of all gecko genera. Instead of possessing dilated digits like other geckos, members of Cyrtodactylus have slender, curved toes to which the common names for the genus can be attributed.
The following phylogeny is from Pyron, et. al (2013), and includes 22 Cyrtodactylus species. Cyrtodactylus is a sister group of Hemidactylus.
