Pachydactylus cf. punctatus Peters, 1854

Specimen.

Angola: Benguella : BMNH 1867.7.23.17 .

Comments.

Bocage (1867 a) reported several specimens of Pachydactylus ocellatus collected by Anchieta in Benguela. An adult male was presented to the British Museum in the same year ( NHMA /DF/ZOO/200/1/195 ) and was later cited by Boulenger (1885 a). Pachydactylus punctatus has long been recognized as a species complex with several distinct lineages occurring in Angola ( Marques et al. 2018).
