Treatment

Chondrodactylus aff. laevigatus (Fischer, 1888) View in CoL Button-scaled Gecko

Comment: A large individual of the genus Chondrodactylus was observed on buildings at Carmira Farm (N. Baptista, pers. obs.), but it was not photographed or collected, and is provisionally assigned to C. laevigatus based on recent records of this species from BNP ( Butler et al. 2019). Records from near the park in Mulondo ( Schmidt 1933, as Pachydactylus stellatus ), and Humbe ( Monard 1937b, as P. bibroni ) are also assigned to this taxon, which is known to occur in southwestern Angola ( Marques et al. 2018).
