Hemidactylus bayonii Bocage 1893

Hemidactylus cf. bayonii Bocage, 1893 Material (one specimen): One adult specimen (MHNCUP/REP 208; Fig. S28), collected from Ambaca [-9.26667º, 15.18333º, 738 m a.s.l.] Kwanza Norte Province, date unknown. Comments: Hemidactylus bayonii is an Angolan endemic species first described by Bocage (1893b). Until recently, it was only known from the regions surrounding the Kwanza River (Marques et al. 2018). Ceríaco et al. (2020a), in a review of the genus Hemidactylus from Angola, commented on the systematics of H. bayonii and designated a neotype for the species. The present specimen was never cited in any of Ferreira’s (1904, 1906) papers, nor included in Ceríaco et al. (2020a) revision of the genus for Angola.
