FIGURE 6 in A phylogenetic analysis of the southern African gecko genus Afroedura Loveridge (Squamata: Gekkonidae), with the description of nine new species from Limpopo and Mpumalanga provinces of South Africa

FIGURE 6. Map of Limpopo and Mpumalanga provinces, South Africa and adjacent regions showing the distributions of previously described species of Afroedura endemic to this region and known localities of the nine new species described in this paper. For previously recognized forms an approximate outline of the range based on Bates et al. (2014) is shown; genetically sampled localities are marked by circles in Figure 4. For new species all known localities are plotted as dots (see relevant species accounts), with genetically sampled site marked by circles with a a red center, type locality marked by a star, and all other localities indicated by open circles colored to correspond to the key in the figure. The very restricted distributions of A. maripi sp. nov., A. rondavelica sp. nov., and A. rupestris sp. nov. are indicated by arrows and are labeled directly on the map.

Red dots represent localities sampled for the genetic portion of the study. Ranges based on Branch (1998) and Bates et al. (2014) as well as unpublished data. Taxon names follow the conclusions of this paper. Area demarcated by a dashed line is presented in more detail in Figure 6.

FIGURE 2 in A phylogenetic analysis of the southern African gecko genus Afroedura Loveridge (Squamata: Gekkonidae), with the description of nine new species from Limpopo and Mpumalanga provinces of South Africa

FIGURE 2. Results of the 12-gene concatenated phylogenetic analysis and 10 individual nuclear gene trees. The tree shows the topology as estimated in the two-gene (ND2, RAG1) concatenated analysis. Outgroup taxa (not shown) include Chondrodactylus, Pachydactylus, Rhoptropus, and Goggia. The tree has been pruned from the full dataset (72 ingroup taxa) to indicate species-level relationships only (22 ingroup taxa). Solid circles indicate>90 MLBS/1.0 BPP for the 12-gene concatenated analysis at the node, and open circles indicate 70–90 MLBS/9.0–9.9 BPP. Each individual nuclear gene not used in the two-gene concatenated analyses that was able to recover the same species relationship as in the two-gene analysis (Fig. 1) is listed on a node-by-node basis. Bold italic black names indicate>70 MLBS for that particular gene, and gray names in normal font indicate <70 MLBS.
