Here is what I have gathered from what I have read about Sthenodactylus.
Stenodactylus affinis
Stenodactylus arabicus
Stenodactylus doriae
Stenodactylus grandiceps
Stenodactylus khobarensis
Stenodactylus leptocosymbotus
Stenodactylus petrii
Stenodactylus pulcher
Stenodactylus slevini
Stenodactylus sthenodactylus
Stenodactylus yemenensis.
I know nothing of S. affinus. It is probably rare as it occurs in Iran and
Iraq.
S. arabicus looks like a little Palmettogecko rangei. Its feet are partially
webed.
S. doriae has an extremely triangular snount. It occurs in areas that are
difficult to collect in. Your group 2 might be S. doriae.
S. grandiceps was once cosidered to be sthenodactylus. They 2 probably look
simialar. I am pretty sure those St. sthenodactylus you bought at Glades are
from the Arabian penninsula. If so, those are probably grandiceps.
S. khobarensis is one I know little about. My Crossobamon have been called
that. A photo of the animal I have can be seen at www.geckoking.com as St.
khoabarensis. It is spelt as "khobarensis" It is from the Arabian
Penninsula. It has also been called S. doriae, but it isn't.
s. leptocosymbotus is from a area where people do not collect. Oman,
Yemen... However, your group 2 animals resemble them.
S. petrii might be group 3. I really think group 3 is a TRUE S.
Sthenodactylus. Look in this months Reptiles under the geckonia article.
S. pulcher i know nothing about.
S. slevini was once called "arabicus". Odds are they resemble arabicus. So
pink skin w/ or w/o webed feet. Maybe webed feet with out pink skin?
S. sthenodactylus. Chubby, reasonably fat tail for the genus, reticulate
pattern. Distribution:Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia (Djerba and other coastal
areas), Libya, Egypt (Ismailia: [HR 31: 185]), Israel,
Mauritania, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Sudan, Syria, Saudi Arabia, N-Kenya
Yemenensis sounds uncommon because it was described in 1980. It lives in
Saudi Arabia and Yemen.
This is the best I can do. I hope I have helped. Please email me with any
questions and for care.
