Four new species of flat geckos in the Afroedura bogerti Loveridge, 1944 group are described from south-western and west-central Angola. The description of these new species significantly restricts the distribution range of typical A. bogerti, a morphologically very similar species, from which they differ genetically by 5.9–12% divergence for the mitochondrial 16S ribosomal RNA gene. Morphologically and genetically, Angolan Afroedura are divided into two main groups: a mostly south-western coastal group and a west-central inland/highland group. These two groups are further divisible into three and two subgroups respectively, all geographically isolated, differing by a combination of the following features: colouration, average adult size, number of mid-body scale rows, number of scale rows on dorsal and ventral surface of each tail verticil and if nostril scales are in contact or not. All five Angolan species are morphologically distinguishable and in agreement with the molecular results. An updated dichotomous key to the Afroedura transvaalica group is provided. The new discovery adds to a growing number of endemic Pro-Namib reptiles described from Angola in recent years.

岩岛旋律:修订Afroedura bogerti Loveridge,1944年小组的描述,其中描述了来自安哥拉的四种新特有物种

从安哥拉西南部和中西部描述了1944年Afroedura bogerti Loveridge组中的四种新的扁平壁虎。这些新物种的描述极大地限制了典型的Bo。Bogerti(一种形态非常相似的物种)的分布范围,与线粒体16S核糖体RNA基因的遗传差异为5.9-12%。在形态和遗传上,安哥拉Afroedura分为两个主要类别:一个主要是西南沿海地区和一个中西部内陆/高原地区。这两类分别可进一步分为三个和两个子组,它们在地理上都是孤立的,其区别在于以下特征的组合:颜色,成人平均身高,中体秤行数,每个尾部细网的背面和腹面上的鳞片行数,以及是否与鼻孔鳞片接触。所有五个安哥拉物种在形态上是可区分的,并且与分子结果一致。提供了更新的Afroedura transvaalica组的二分法密钥。近年来,新发现增加了安哥拉描述的越来越多的地方性Pro-Namib爬行动物。
