Bosc's fringe-toed lizard or Bosk's [sic] fringe-fingered lizard (Acanthodactylus boskianus) is a species of lizard in the family Lacertidae.[2][3] The species is endemic to North Africa and Western Asia.[2] Three subspecies are sometimes recognised; A. boskianus boskianus, from Lower Egypt; A. boskianus euphraticus from Iraq; and A. boskianus asper from the rest of the range; however this division is unsatisfactory because each subspecies has much variation and the differences between them are not consistent.[4]
