geryi or geyri??

Cas Aug 14, 2003 09:57 PM

Okay, I've seen this written both ways.... kingsnake's uro page has geyri, and Doug Dix has geryi. So, what's the correct scientific name for Nigerian/Saharan uromastyx, geryi or geyri??

Thanks,
Dawn

Well, they're listed just about everywhere as geyri, including on some CITES lists (they're appendix 2, as are all uro species, if anyone is curious). So, I'm betting that's the right one. Not sure why Doug Dix has it as geryi on his site... maybe just a typo.
