Current name: Pachydactylus oculatus ( Hewitt, 1927 ) Holotype : PEM R11953 (formerly AMG 5304 ); farm Cyrilhurts, about six miles from Tarkastad, Eastern Cape Province , South Africa ; Mr. R. Essex , August 1925 . Remarks. The description does not mention where the specimens were deposited. A specimen agreeing in appearance with the illustrated specimen in the original description is present in the PEM. The only difference is that the original label reads ‘King’s Farm, Tarkastad’ and not ‘farm Cyrilhurts about six miles from Tarkastad’. One more juvenile specimen from the same locality (PEM R11928) is present in the PEM. Hewitt specifically states the ‘type’ ( holotype ) to be an adult male. No further types are listed. Hewitt considered it a form between maculatus and capensis , calling it Pachydactylus maculatus oculatus in his plate. Loveridge (1947) subsequently synonymised it with P. maculatus , but it was later elevated to a full species (Branch 1988).
