Type locality: “Quitah, Gold Coast ”, Keta , Guinea (= Ghana ) . Hemidactylus intestinalis Werner, 1897: 263 . Type locality: Togo . Distribution . Widespread from West Africa ( Guinea Conakry) to Central Africa ( Gabon , Democratic Republic of the Congo ). In Equatorial Guinea it has been recorded from Río Muni , in Monte Alén National Park at the Laña River ( Lasso et al. 2002 ) and at Monte Mitra Forest ( Gonwouo & Nsang 2005 ) ( Map 8C ). Comments. Lasso et al. (2002) recorded H. muriceus in the forest of the Laña River. Gonwouo & Nsang (2005) reported the presence of H. muriceus (as H. intestinalis Werner, 1897 , current junior synonym of H. muriceus ) at 2.5 m above the ground in primary forest at Monte Mitra. Both records fall within Monte Alén National Park, where Hemidactylus kamdemtohami has been recorded occupying the same microhabitat ( Bauer & Pauwels 2002 ). However, as the record of H. kamdemtohami is based on a single photographed specimen morphologically close to the specimens of H. muriceus from Río Muni , a detailed study of Hemidactylus from Río Muni is needed. Specimens examined. No specimens of this taxon were found in the examined collections.
