Pristurus guichardi was described and originally reported from a very limited area of the island, the Hajhir Massif, over 700 m. Unpublished genetic data (S. Carranza in litt.) seem to confirm this pattern, but with a wider altitudinal range between 90 m (Wadi Di-Fa'rhoh) and 1030 m (Skand area).

Habitat. P. g u i c h a rd i is strictly arboreal; we observed this species on branches and tree trunks and medium size shrubs; we found P. guichardi on the ground only once, near the base of a Dracaena tree trunk. The species occurs in woods and forests on highlands, bushes mixed with Dracaena (however, it has never been observed on its stems), and on palms and other trees along the wadis.

Original data. Fig. 16. Go'o area, Wadi Di-Fa'rhoh, Firmihin, Dheroh, Skand.

Bibliographic data. Arnold (1986c), Wranik (1998b), Schätti & Desvoignes 1999, Rösler & Wranik (1999, 2004).

General distribution. Endemic to Socotra Island.
