Abstract
The distribution of Gekkonidae in southeast Anatolia was examined. Specimens were caught during field excursions between 2000 and 2002. The localities of the samples are marked on the provided maps and the distribution of the species is explained. Some habitat and ecological features are also given. Hemidactylus turcicus (Linnaeus, 1758) was recorded for the first time in Şanlıurfa and its distribution extended towards eastern Turkey. In addition, we added new localities to the distribution range of Cyrtopodion scaber (Heyden, 1827), which was previously only known from Şanlıurfa.

Bu çal›flmada, güneydo¤u Anadolu’da yaflayan Gekkonidae familyas›na ait türlerin da¤›l›fl› incelenmifltir. 2000-2002 y›llar› aras›nda yap›lan arazi çal›flmalar›ndan elde edilen örneklerin yakaland›¤› lokaliteler haritalar üzerinde gösterilerek türlerin bu bölgedeki da¤›l›fllar› aç›klanm›flt›r. Bunlara ilaveten habitat ve ekolojik özellikleri verilmifltir. Ayr›ca Hemidactylus turcicus (Linnaeus, 1758) türü ilk defa fianl›urfa ilinden bulunarak bu türün da¤›l›fl›n›n do¤uya do¤ru devam etti¤i bulunmufltur.
