Saurodactylus is genus of geckos endemic to Northern Africa, better known as lizard-fingered geckos.
The genus is listed as containing 7 species: [1]
Hemidactylus is a genus of the common gecko family, Gekkonidae. It has 174 described species, newfound ones being described every few years. These geckos are found in all the tropical regions of the world, extending into the subtropical parts of Africa and Europe. They excel in colonizing oceanic islands by rafting on flotsam, and are for example found across most of Polynesia. In some archipelagoes, cryptic species complexes are found. Geckos like to live in and out of houses. They have been introduced to Australia.
Tarentola is a genus of geckos, commonly known as wall geckos.
Tarentola mauritanica, known as the common wall gecko, is a species of gecko (Gekkota) native to the western Mediterranean area of North Africa and Europe and has since been introduced to Madeira, Canary Islands and Balearic Islands, and the Americas. It is commonly observed on walls in urban environments, mainly in warm coastal areas. However, it can be found further inland, especially in Spain where it has a tradition of cohabitation with humans as insect hunter. A robust species, up to 15 centimetres (5.9 in) long, its tubercules are enlarged and give the species a spiny armoured appearance. It is a nocturnal animal with a predominantly insectivorous diet.

Both this species and Saurodactylus brosseti were both commonly known as the Morocco lizard-fingered gecko, and were both considered conspecific.
