Resumo(s)
Thirteen specimens of Tarentola from the Cape Verde islands were sequenced for 695 base pairs of
l2S rRNA and cytochrome b mitochondrial genes, and analysed with published sequences. Our results support
many of the relationships previously proposed. We report the presence of Taren/ala gigas Bocage, 1875 on Sao
Nicolau and Taren/ala cabaverdiana nicalauensis Schleich, 1984 on Sao Vicente. This increases the number
of genetically distinct forms on these islands; hence community structure appears to be more complex than
previously understood. We also sequenced seven individuals for 375 base pairs of the nuclear gene. C-mos. Two
sites were variable, much less than expected given the high levels of differentiation based on mitochondrial DNA
sequences.
