Lygodactylus sp.

Material

Mt. M’pàluwé ( PEM R21196 , female, 41.0 mm SVL) .

Comments

One individual collected from a tree trunk in a newly cleared shamba at the top of Mt. M’pàluwé at night. Specimen from Mt. M’pàluwé differs from Lygodactylus cf. rex from Mt. Mabu, and Lygodactylus regulus from Mt Namuli in that they lack the conspicuous ocellus above the shoulder. It closely resembles Lygodactylus angularis in general throat markings and that the mental is entire and not split with shallow lateral slits as in the Lygodactylus rex group.
