Material. NKWAJI: BMNH 2018.2767 (male), BMNH 2018.2766 (female). Comments: Specimens were identified following the key provided by Broadley (1971). In both specimens, the mental has a pair of lateral clefts, resulting from fusion with a large postmental. The male has nine preanal pores, which distinguish it from L. bradfieldi . The closest match from GenBank (90% sequence similarity) is Lygodactylus sp. from East Africa (GenBank accession numbers GU593448–50).
