Contents:
7 species, all of which are endemic.
Endemism: 0%  100%
Remarks:
Russell (1978) regarded Blaesodactylus as a synonym of
Homopholis, and Böhme & Meier (1980) suggested it to be treated as a subgenus of
Homopholis, an arrangement which has been followed by many authors (e.g., Glaw & Vences 1992; Henkel & Schmidt 1995), however, Kluge & Nussbaum (1995) revalidated Blaesodactylus as a separate genus.
