Afroedura multiporis

Jacobsen, Niels H. G., Kuhn, Arianna L., Jackman, Todd R. & Bauer, Aaron M., 2014, A phylogenetic analysis of the southern African gecko genus Afroedura Loveridge (Squamata: Gekkonidae), with the description of nine new species from Limpopo and Mpumalanga provinces of South Africa, Zootaxa 3846 (4), pp. 451-501 : 473

Afroedura multiporis Group

Diagnosis. Two pairs of enlarged scansors per digit, tail not, or only faintly verticillate, rounded to slightly flattened, dorsal scales keeled, one or more internasals between nasorostrals.

Remarks. Onderstall (1984) mentioned the presence of keeled scales in members of this group but did not appreciate the phylogenetic value of this character. Jacobsen (1990, 1992a, 1997) identified A. multiporis ‘Lebombo’ as another member of this species complex. This putative species remains known from a single juvenile specimen. Although apparently distinctive in several features, the lack of adult material and the imperfect state of the specimen prevent us from describing this form at this time. This form was noted as Afroedura sp. nov. “Lebombo flat gecko” by Bourquin (2004).
