Crossobamon eversmanni, also known commonly as the comb-toed gecko, is a species of Asian gecko, a lizard in the family Gekkonidae.
The specific name, eversmanni, is in honor of Russian-German entomologist Alexander Eduard Friedrich Eversmann.
C. eversmanni is found in Iran, Pakistan, and several other countries of Central Asia.
The preferred natural habitat of C. eversmanni is sandy areas of desert, grassland, and shrubland, at altitudes of 550–1,463 m (1,804–4,800 ft).
C. eversmanni is terrestrial, nocturnal, and lives in burrows.
C. eversmanni is oviparous. A sexually mature female may lay 2–3 clutches per year, with 1–2 eggs in each clutch.
Two subspecies are recognized as being valid, including the nominotypical subspecies.
Nota bene: A trinomial authority in parentheses indicates that the subspecies was originally described in a genus other than Crossobamon.
