Type locality: “ Ilha de Anno Bom”, Annobon . Distribution . Endemic to Annobon ( Ferreira 1897 ; Ceríaco et al. 2018 ) ( Map 9A ). Comments. Specimens originally recorded in Annobon as H. mabouia by Bocage (1893:45) became the types of H. newtoni ( Ferreira 1897 ) . Hemidactylus newtoni is the sister taxon of a putative undescribed species from São Tomé ( Jesus et al. 2005a ), which actually seem to be H. longicephalus ( Ceríaco et al. 2022 ) . Based on direct observations, Jesus et al. (2005a) indicated that the introduced H. mabouia is much more commonly found than H. newtoni , which could be ecologically displaced. Specimens examined. No specimens of this taxon were found in the examined collections.
