MATERIAL.— Omauha Lodge, 28 November 2013, 16º11ʹ55.01ʺS, 12º24ʹ3.12ʺE, 338 m ( CAS 254829 About CAS ) GoogleMaps .

COMMENTS.— Pachydactylus oreophilus was described from near Sesfontein in northwestern Namibia. Specimens assigned to this species extend northwards at least as far as the southern lowland portions of Benguela Province, Angola. Preliminary molecular phylogenetic data suggest that northern populations, including all of those in Angola and possibly those along the Kunene River in Namibia, are not conspecific with the nominotypic form. The specimen was collected at night, basking near a lamp 2.5 m off the ground, in Omauha Lodge.
