28 L. o. ANDERSSON, CATAL. OF LINNEAN TYPE-SPECIMENS OF REPTILIA. 



dicate that the author's Sphfcrodactylus sputator and Sparr- 

 inan's Lacerta sputator are not identical. 



I believe that the specimens must be Sphoirodactylus fan- 

 tasticus Dum & Bibr., though two of them difFer in colour, 

 which species thus will be named Sphserodactylus sputator 

 (Sparrman). 



Sphrprodactyhis sputator auct. must then be called b}^ an- 

 other name. 



Tolal length 73 mm., length of the body (to Ihe vent) 35 mm.

Lacerta geitje Sparrman. 



In Göteborgs Vetenskaps och Witterhets Samhälles Hand- 

 lingar Tom. I, p. 75, 1778 Sparrman describes under the name 

 Lacerta Geitje a lizard, which he says to be very much poi- 

 sonous and which he brought home from his travel in South 

 Africa. At present there are two specimens labeled y^Lacerta 

 Geitje». Quensel says in his catalogue: .'Uniim exemplum in 

 Museo AcademifB diu servatiim; alterum licet absque nomine e 

 Museo Drhlmsi advenit.^^ 



One of the specimens, which probably has been the t^^pe 

 of Sparrman (it agrees completely with Sparrmans' descrip- 

 tion and figure), has a label pasted on the jar and marked 

 »Lacerta Geitje nov. spec.» written by Quensel quite like that 

 one which was pasted on the jar, containing Lacerta bi- 

 maculata] the other specimen (a dried one of Pachydactylus 

 ocellatiis?) bears also a label written by Quensel and marked 

 »Lac. Geitje 1068 Spiarrman A. GotJib. I^nsss. exempl. Cap.y> 

 Probably this latter label, which only is tied to the jar, has 

 been confounded and belongs to the specimen, iirst mentioned. 



This specimen, according my opinion the type specimen 

 of Sparrman, is a true Pachydactylus ocellatus, which thus 

 ought to be named Pachydactylus Geitje Sparrm. 



Total length 64 mm., length of the body (to the vent) 38 mm.
