The Annobon leaf-toed gecko (Hemidactylus aporus) is a species of geckos in the family Gekkonidae.
The species is endemic to the island of Annobón in Equatorial Guinea.[1] The species were described and named by George Albert Boulenger in 1906 when he visited the archipelago describing wildlife in the south of the Gulf of Guinea Islands.
They inhabit up to about 500 m in elevation.
Newton's leaf-toed gecko, also founded with the island, has some similarities.
