MAPS 10 A–C. Distribution maps for Equatorial Guinean records of (A) Lygodactylus fischeri; (B) Lygodactylus thomensis; (C) Lacertaspis gemmiventris.
Comments. There are no records of Lacertaspis rohdei in Bioko. Mertens (1968) found colour differences between the populations of L. rohdei from Mt. Cameroon and Mt. Kupe. As Mertens (1968) did not compare nor mention specimens of L. rohdei from Bioko in his work, it seems that the reference to Mertens (1968) made by Schmitz et al. (2005) is a mistake.
Specimens examined. Two specimens. Río Muni: imprecise locality (from Nsork, Nvom or Campo River), 1986–1987 (EBD 25052 _B-4925, EBD 25055).
