Pachydactylus weberi acuminatus, FitzSimons 1941 Pachydactylus acuminatus is a species of lizard in the family Gekkonidae, a family also known as the typical geckos.
It was once believed to be a subspecies of Weber's thick-toed gecko (Pachydactylus weberi) but was lifted to species status in 2006.
[2] Pachydactylus acuminatus was originally described by Vivian Frederick Maynard FitzSimons in 1941 as Pachydactylus weberi acuminatus, from eight specimens housed in the Transvaal Museum, Pretoria—seven immature individuals and one adult.
[3] The position of Pachydactylus weberi acuminatus was later reassessed by A. M. Bauer, who lifted it to species status in 2006.
[2][4] P. acuminatus is known only from Namibia, in the Lüderitz, Bethanie, Keetmanshoop, Maltahöhe, and Swakopmund districts.
