Hemidactylus kamdemtohami Bauer & Pauwels, 2002

Hemidactylus kamdemtohami Bauer & Pauwels, 2002: 2 . Type locality: “ Gabon, eastern slope of Mont Iboundji [near 01°10′32″S, 11°49′16″E (coordinates of Boussimbi, closest village to the type locality)], alt. ca. 520 m asl ”.

Distribution. This species has been recorded from Gabon, Cameroon and Equatorial Guinea. In Equatorial Guinea the only record is based on a single photographed specimen from Río Muni at Monte Alén National Park (01°39′25″N, 10°16′10″E) ( Bauer & Pauwels 2002) ( Map 7C ); but see comments.

Comments. This species was reported in Equatorial Guinea based on a single specimen sighted and photographed in Monte Alén National Park under the bark of a tree, Dacryodes buettneri (Engl.) H.J. Lam (Burseraceae) , at 1.5 m above the ground ( Bauer & Pauwels 2002). However, confirmation throughout a detailed morphological revision would be advisable, since at first sight it could have been misidentified for Hemidactylus muriceus .

Specimens examined. No specimens of this taxon were found in the examined collections.
