Yes, i was hoping someone would notice.
These geckos are not typical of either infact.
A few opinions have been shared and may be in fact be a intergrade between the two as the area were these were collected the species do overlap on a certain road.

Only time will tell.

To make it even more complicated, herewith a paragraph by Aaron Bauer from the SARCA report:


This species has often been considered as a subspecies of Pachydactylus mariquensis (e.g., Loveridge 1947; Branch 199, but its consistent morphological differences in cephalic scalation support its specific distinctness. Older specimens from areas of sympatry and near sympatry with P. mariquensis require identification confirmation. Molecular phylogenetic studies of this and other members of the P. mariquensis group are being undertaken (Bauer et al., in prep.).

So as far as I'm concerned it's now a full species and not a sub-species anymore...
Nice pictures of some interesting animals!
