Afroedura amatolica, Hewitt, 1925

Jacobsen, Niels H. G., Kuhn, Arianna L., Jackman, Todd R. & Bauer, Aaron M., 2014, A phylogenetic analysis of the southern African gecko genus Afroedura Loveridge (Squamata: Gekkonidae), with the description of nine new species from Limpopo and Mpumalanga provinces of South Africa, Zootaxa 3846 (4), pp. 451-501 : 470-471

A. amatolica ( Hewitt, 1925)

Distribution. Amatola Mountains, Eastern Cape Province, South Africa (Bauer 2014b) ( Fig. 4 ).

Remarks. Loveridge’s (1947) synonymy of A. amatolica with A. nivaria was accepted by at least some authors as late as the 1980s ( Branch 1981), owing to the long-confused application of names to Eastern Cape Afroedura , but since 1984 it has generally be regarded as specifically distinct ( Visser 1984b).

FIGURE 4. Map of southern Africa showing the approximate distributional ranges of previously described species of Afroedura. Red dots represent localities sampled for the genetic portion of the study. Ranges based on Branch (1998) and Bates et al. (2014) as well as unpublished data. Taxon names follow the conclusions of this paper. Area demarcated by a dashed line is presented in more detail in Figure 6.
