Hemidactylus bouvieri, also known as Bouvier's leaf-toed gecko or Cape Verde leaf-toed gecko, is a species of gecko in the family Gekkonidae.[2] The species is endemic to the Cape Verde Islands and is listed as critically endangered. It has been found on the islands of São Vicente, Santo Antão, Santa Luzia, São Nicolau, Santiago and Ilhéu Raso.[3]

H. bouvieri was originally described and named by Marie Firmin Bocourt in 1870. The specific name, bouvieri, is in honor of French zoologist Aimé Bouvier (died 1919).[2][4]

Subspecies

There are two subspecies which are considered valid.[3]

The former subspecies Hemidactylus bouvieri boavistensis is now considered a separate species, Hemidactylus boavistensis.[3][5]
