Pachydactylus sp. 2 Bauer, Lamb & Branch (Bauer et al. 2006a: 684) Holotype. MCZ Rl84884 (Figs 2-3): adult male; Namib- ia, Otjozondjupa Region, Grootfontein District, Farm Uis- ib, 19°33'06"S, 17°14'11"E, 1400 m coll. Bauer, J. Marais, T. Jackman, and Branch, 15 Sep- tember 2006. Paratypes. MCZ Rl 84880-81 (adult females), 184883 (subadult/adult female), MCZ Rl 84882 (subadult/adult male), same data as holotype. Additional material. TM 84999, 85005; Namibia, Otjo- zondjupa Region, Grootfontein District, Farm Uisib (19°33'08"S, 17°14'07"E). Diagnosis. Snout-vent length to at least mm. A mod- erate-sized Pachydactylus with a depressed body form. Trunk with 16 rows of enlarged, keeled tubercles, grad- ing into prominent conical scales on flanks (Figs 2-4). Or- bital diameter as great as eye-ear distance. Rostral partic- ipating in nostril rim. Dorsal surface of thighs and shanks covered by enlarged conical to keeled scales. Tail with keeled lanceolate tubercles restricted to one scale row per tail segment. Dorsal pattern with an occipital-nuchal loop, a "V"-shaped band on posterior of neck, a transverse bar anterior to hindlimb insertion, and a series of oval mark- ings or fusions thereof on the trunk (Figs 2-5). Among its congeners P. boehmei sp n. is superficially sim- ilar to some members of the P. weberi group, but can be distinguished from these by its inclusion of the rostral in the nostril rim and the possession of a maximum of only four undivided scansors beneath the digits of the pes (ver- su
