. Bonner zoologische Monographien. Zoology. 113. : Lectotype of Naultinus granulatus Gray, 1845 (= Hoplo- dactylus granulatus). BMNH (Photo courtesy of British Museum (Natural History)) Comments: The taxonomic history of this species is the most confused for any in the tribe Carphodactylini. Fifteen different names or combinations have been used since the description of the species by Gray (1845). Thomas (1981), in synonymizing Heteropholis nebulosus with Hoplodactylus granulatus, presented a summary of the history of the former name and an exhaustive synonomy of the taxon.

Thomas (1981), in synonymizing Heteropholis nebulosus with Hoplodactylus granulatus, presented a summary of the history of the former name and an exhaustive synonomy of the taxon. McCann (1955) explained some of the taxonomic problems of this taxon while creating additional ones himself. Despite its unique coloration, its more slender toes and tail, and generally Naultinus-WkQ post-cranial morphology, many workers have doubted the distinctness of H. granulatus and relegated it to the synonomy of H. pacificus. Others (Duller 1881; Colenso 1885) were unaware that their new taxa had been described, albeit poorly, forty years earlier. It is unclear what prompted McCann (1955) to erect Heteropholis nebulosus for two Stewart Island specimens of H.
