本研究以粒線體細胞色素b核酸序列及型態特徵分析台灣等地共二十五個族群蝎虎之親緣關係。定序結果得到327bp的序列長度。以鄰接法和最簡約法分析所得之親緣關係樹，可將蝎虎族群分為八個區域群：東沙群、礁溪群、西北群、中部群、嘉南群、南部—澎湖群、東部—恆春群、東南群。根據結果推斷，台灣地區蝎虎的擴散中心應位於西北部，然後向東方和南方擴散。礁溪族群親緣地位不明，可能源自西北部，亦可能源自台灣以外其他地區。澎湖族群與高雄族群，以及知本、東河族群與蘭嶼、綠島族群遺傳距離相近，均可能是因為基因交流的頻繁。而以主成分分析和區別分析十六個蝎虎型態特徵，結果均無法區別族群間的差異。

Phylogeny of 25 Hemidactylus frenatus populations from Taiwan and adjecent islands were resloved by mitochondrial cytochrome b nucleotide sequences and morphological characters. A total of 327 bp were sequenced. Using neighbor-joining and maximum parsimony methods, the phylogenetic trees divide Hemidactylus frenatus into 8 regional groups: Tungshia group; Chiaohsi group; northwest group; central group; Chiayi-Tainan group; south-Penghu group; east-Hengchun group; and southeast group. The results suggest that, the dispersal center should be in the northwest, and then dispersed to the east and the south. Phylogenetic state of Chiaohsi population is not clear. It may be immigrated from northwest or outside of Taiwan. The Penghu and Kaohsiung populations have a short genetic distance, maybe caused from frequently genetic interflow, as well as the Chihpen, Tunghe, Lutao and Lanyu populations. The Principle Component Analysis and Canonical Discriminate Analysis of 16 morphological characters, showed that no differences exist populations.
