Acanthodactylus savignyi View in CoL ( Audouin, 1827:172, Suppl. pl. 1, fig. 8)

This species is supposedly represented by two specimens, MNHN 0.2760 from Tripoli, and SMNS 788 (Tripolitania). Western Libya is well outside of documented range of this species, in coastal Algeria ( Salvador 1982; Sindaco and Jeremčenko 2008). These specimens need to be reexamined, as they certainly represent some other species of Acanthodactylus , most likely A. pardalis .
