40 Tarentola mauritanica View in CoL - The taxonomy of the T. mauritanica complex is debated. Harris et al. (2009) found that specimens from Lampedusa and the adjacent Conigli islet belong to two clades, one occurring on Lampedusa and Conigli islet, related to Libyan specimens [where T. fascicularis (Daudin 1802) and T. deserti Lataste 1891 occur] and the other representing “a further subclade, distinct from all other known mtDNA lineages”, found only in Conigli island. Conversely Stöck et al. (2016) found that Lampedusa specimens are closely related to Cap Bon specimens, where T. mauritanica occurs (Tlili et al., 2012).
