Hi
Just wanted to let you all know, that a new species of Afrogecko is described in the latest issue of African Journal of Herpetology.
Haacke, W.D. 2008. A new leaf-toed gecko (Reptilia: Gekkonidae) from south-western Angola. Afr. J. Herpetol., 57(2): 85-92.
Its a quite remarkable species, by the fact, that its small (around 40 mm svl and 43 Tail-length from the type). Its a small, flat an slender species, with a tail, that is as flat and wide as the body (African style leaf-tail). The tail is fringed with spine-like scales at the distal part, making the tail resemble a feather - which is also why the species is called plumicaudus).
Anybody knows more about this species? Jon ???
