PRESENT STATUS: Hemidactylus mabouia (Moreau de Jonne`s, 1818).

REMARKS: A composite plate (including Polychrus ) in the Abbildungen shows Gekko incanescens Wied in color (i.e., gray), whereas Gekko armatus Wied is illustrated only by outline drawings ( figs. 3–6 View Fig View Fig View Fig View Fig in pl. 8). 20 Further outline drawings of G. armatus were given in plate 2 of the Beitra¨ge.

In the Beitra¨ge Wied explained that he had initially thought that the two sympatric geckos belonged to the same species; he gave the reasons (all within the local variation of the species) why he came to call them by distinct names. The nomenclaturally valid original diagnoses, for both species, are in the Isis for 1824.

Both nominal species share the same type locality, Paulista (Praia do Paulista, 22 ° 139S, 41 ° 279W [ Vanzolini, 1992: 123]). There are no specimens in the collection.
