The black-spotted dwarf gecko (Lygodactylus nigropunctatus) is a species of gecko endemic to the northern South Africa (Gauteng, Limpopo, Mpumalanga, and North-West Provinces).[1][2] The subspecies L. n. incognitus, cryptic dwarf gecko, and L. n. montiscaeruli, Makgabeng dwarf gecko, are sometimes considered distinct species (e.g., in the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species).[1] Both of these species has been assessed as "data deficient" by IUCN.[3][4]
