Afroablepharus annobonensis (Fuhn, 1972): Jesus et al. 2007.

Distribution. Endemic to Annobon (Fuhn 1972; Jesus et al. 2007; Soares et al. 2018; Ceríaco et al. 2018) (Map 12B).

Comments. The species level status was supported by Jesus et al. (2007). It is more closely related to P. cabindae than to the other congeneric species from the Gulf of Guinea islands (Soares et al. 2018).

Specimens examined. Eighteen specimens. Annobon: 1987 (EBD 27702–27703); 10 November 1987 (EBD 27701, EBD 27699); Pico de Fuego, July 1978 (EBD 23580–23583); “lowland”, July 1978 (EBD 23584–23593).
