Phyllodactylus tuberculosus
Wiegmann, 1835
English Common Name: tuberculosus Gecko
Spanish Common Name: Gecko - tuberculosus
Taxonomic Comments: Two specimens collected from San Cristobal in 1888 by J.R. Slevin (see Van Denburgh, 1912), and it had a mistake in the identification (see Taylor 1942). Also, J. Olmedo collected on the same Island a juvenile specimen (?) in 1992, but it was a bad identification (Olmedo`s thesis did`t present this record).
Name Status: Previously reported, but rejected from the CDF Galapagos Species Checklist.
