Comments.— Fattahi et al. (2013) plotted three localities in northern Libya, presumably 
based on BMNH material, but did not provide details. Karin et al. (2016) demonstrated that this 
species and other “ Trachylepis ” in North Africa, Turkey and the Middle East are not part of the 
same clade as true (sub-Saharan African) Trachylepis and resurrected the name Heremites Gray, 
1845 for this group. Bauer and Adler (2003) provided bibliographic details for Olivier’s “Voyage“ 
The quarto and octavo versions of the work were apparently published simultaneously and a sin¬ 
gle version of the “ Atlas'" complemented both text editions. A number of published records of Tra¬ 
chylepis quinquetaeniata from Libya are assumed to represent this species (e.g., localities 357 and 
417). 
IUCN Threat Status.— Least Concern.
