There are numerous published data related to the taxonomic structure and distribution of one of the most diverse and taxonomically confusing Iranian lizards, the genus Phrynocephalus. The genus Phrynocephalus has a close relationship with genera Stellagama, Paralaudakia, and Laudakia. There are about 10-12 species of this monophyletic genus in desert regions of Iran. This study aims to provide a review and a brief comparison of taxonomic changes as well as the distribution of the Iranian Plateau Phrynocephalus species.
