Heliobolus lugubris
Overview & Synopsis
BUSHVELD LIZARDHeliobolus lugubris (Smith, 1838)MATERIAL.— Namibe-Lubango road, 2 km E of Mangueiras, south side of the road, 5 December 2013, 15º02ʹ37.0ʺS, 13º09ʹ36.0ʺE, 625 m (CAS 254885).COMMENTS.— The species is widespread over much of southern Africa, particularly on sandy substrates (Bauer et al. 1993). In Angola, the majority of both bibliographic (Bocage 1867, 1895; Monard 1937; Mertens 1938; Boulenger 1921) and museum records (e.g., TM 46525) are from Benguela. However, there are also records of the species for Namibe Province from “Maconjo” (Bocage 1895), “Capangombe” (Bocage 1895), and “Konondoto” (Boulenger 1921). The species’ distribution in the country extends to the southeast in Huíla and Cunene Provinces. Our specimen is a sub-adult (55.5 mm SVL).
