HABITATS, NATURAL HISTORY AND DISTRIBUTION. — Lygodactylus conraui is a diurnal species inhabiting the West African savannahs and open forests from Sierra Leone to Cameroun ( Loveridge 1947;

Pasteur 1965). It was first reported to occur in Togo by Bauer et al. (2006) for the locality of Zogbégan (specimen IRSNB 17158), situated inside ecological zone IV. Its further distribution in Togo is unknown. In South-Eastern Nigeria, it occurs widely in forests (both swamped and dry; Luiselli et al. 2007), and feeds mainly on adult Lepidoptera ( Rugiero et al. 2007).
