Lygodactylus capensis mossambica Loveridge, 1920

Proceedings of the Zoological Society of London, 1920:131.

Current name: Lygodactylus grotei Sternfeld, 1911

Paratype: PEM R16092 (formerly AMG 5178); Lumbo, Mozambique; A. Loveridge, ‘ 11 July 1918 ’.

Remarks. The type description mentions a total of 50 specimens collected at the type locality deposited in the BMNH, with some co-types subsequently donated to National Museum of Wales, Manchester Museum, American Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, Harvard University and Nairobi Museum. No mention is made about a donation of specimens to the AMG. A hand-written label initialed by A. Loveridge and found in the type bottle refers to the AMG specimen as a paratype, indicating that Loveridge sent this specimen (it was probably part of the MCZ material) to Hewitt at AMG (now in PEM).
