Lygodactylus gutturalis (Bocage, 1873) *

Specimen.

Guinea-Bissau: Bissau: BMNH 1900386 [ paralectotype, originally BMNH 1875.4.26.8 ; Fig. 17 ] .

Comments.

Bocage (1873 a) described Hemidactylus gutturalis based on an unspecified number of specimens collected by Mr. Sá Nogueira (dates of birth and death unknown) at Bissau, sending a male to the ZMB in the same year ( Bauer and Günther 1991) and another to the British Museum on 29 March 1875 ( NHMA /DF/ZOO/200/1/191 ), cited by Boulenger (1885 a) as “ one of the types ”. The specimen in Berlin ( ZMB 7771) was recently designated as lectotype and the British Museum one as paralectotype ( Lobón-Rovira et al. 2024).
