Colopus wahlbergii View in CoL

– This small terrestrial gecko is widespread in the Kalahari region, with a single, marginal Angolan record (Angola-Namibia border, 18°E; Haacke 1976). It has subsequently been recorded from the Caprivi ( Haacke 1998, Branch unpub. obs.), Zimbabwe ( Broadley and Spawls 1991) and extreme western Zambia ( Broadley and van Daele 2003), and is, therefore, likely to occur in the sandy areas of the region.
