Pachydactylus rangei, the Namib sand gecko[4] or Namib web-footed gecko, is a species of small lizard in the family Gekkonidae. It inhabits the arid areas of Angola, Namibia, and South Africa, and was first described in 1908 by Swedish zoologist Lars Gabriel Andersson,[3] who named it after its finder, German geologist Dr. Paul Range.[5][6]
