SVL = 49 mm) with a moderately long snout (Lobón-Rovira et al. 2021). The species usually has a characteristic black spot in the occipital region; however, some specimens from the Coastal Drier Belt do not have this black spot. The specimens reported here are segregated into four different lineages based on <i>16S</i>, which differ among themselves by <2.8%. Each lineage corresponds to the four ecological zones considered here (Upper Mayombe, Lower Mayombe, Littoral Peneplain and Coastal Drier Belt), with the lineage from Upper Mayombe being the most divergent, differing by a maximum of 2.8% from conspecific material. Material from Cabinda Province is topotypic and differs by 5.5−6% (<i>16S p</i> -distance) from material collected from Macocola, Uíge Province (FKH 004, see Lobón-Rovira et al. 2021).</p><p><b>Biology and distribution.</b> A nocturnal, arboreal gecko frequently found on tree branches or large leaves. We recorded material from all four ecological zones considered in this work. However, at Fazenda Mandarim, where the species was found in syntopy with <i>H. mabouia</i>, individuals were actively hunting on the floor among leaf litter, perhaps a consequence of ecological competition with <i>H. mabouia</i>. The species is known to occur in Cabinda Province and Uíge Province, Angola (Lobón-Rovira et al. 2021). It is the most abundant gecko in Cabinda Province, having been collected or observed in most surveyed sites. It is expected to occur in the neighbouring areas of the Republic of the Congo and DRC.</p> |
