status

 

Afroedura africana Group

Diagnosis. Small to medium sized (SVL <65 mm), three pairs of enlarged scansors on each digit, tail verticillate and flattened, nasorostrals in contact with one another, precloacal pores <20.

Remarks. The monophyly of this group is poorly supported and we recognize this group only tentatively. Additional genetic markers might help to support the union of A. karroica and the arid western taxa, or may reveal alternative placements of these species within the genus.
