Comments.
This recently described species is only known from the Serra da Neve inselberg and is considered a strict endemic. The species was recently described from the inselberg by Marques et al. (2020). Lygodactylus baptistai appears to be the single representative of this lineage in southwestern Africa. Morphologically it is also more similar to those species found on inselbergs of Mozambique such as L. rex Broadley, 1963 and L. regulus Portik, Travers, Bauer & Branch, 2013 (Portik et al. 2013 b) than to the other species known from Angola, L. angolensis Bocage, 1896 and L. nyaneka Marques, Ceríaco, Buehler, Bandeira, Janota & Bauer, 2020, both restricted to Miombo forested areas, or L. lawrencei Hewitt, 1926, an arid zone specialist.
