Comments: Hemidactylus mabouia is commonly found in northern Angola and along the coastline of the country ( Marques et al. 2018 ; Ceríaco et al. 2020a ). This species is frequently associated with urban habitats and it is one of the most widespread Hemidactylus species (and geckos in general), with a broad distribution in sub-Saharan Africa, especially south of the Sahel ( Ceríaco et al. 2020a ). Ferreira (1904) cited female specimens from “Cabiri”, “Serra de Stombe” and “Catete” and an additional adult from “Cambondo” ( Ferreira 1906 ). Extant in MHNC-UP exist specimens from both “Cabiri” (MHNCUP/REP 210) and “Catete” (MHNCUP/REP 212–213). Agarwal et al. (2021) recently revised H. mabouia and found it to comprise as many as 20 putative species-level lineages. Ceríaco et al. (2020a) found the Angolan specimens to be conspecific with the nominotypical form.
