CommentSubspecies: Tarentola neglecta Strauch, 1895, is characterized by partially reduced digital lamellae, a more slender shape of head and body and lower scale counts than other Tarentola species (Joger, 1984).

Distribution: reports from Chad are misidentified T. ephippiata (BSHAENA & JOGER 2013). 
EtymologyNamed after Latin neglecta, disregarded, not cared for, neglected, ignored. [?].
