Global distribution: The distribution oiLygodactylus angolensis is poorly known in mueh of 
its range. It oeeurs from southern and eentral Angola east through Zambia, the former Katanga 
Provinee of the Demoeratie Repuiblic of Congo, northern Zimbabwe, northern and western 
Mozambique and Malawi to seattered loealities in Tanzania and southern Kenya.

dactylus angolensis is known from widely seat¬ 
tered loealities aeross the interior of Angola.

Taxonomic and distributional notes: Some citations to the name of Lygodactylus capensis 
(Bocage 1895a; Laurent 1964a) were later transferred to the synonymy of Z. angolensis. Pasteur 
(1964) provided a map (his fig. 15) depictng records for Angolensis, which indicates its wide range 
from the inland southwest of Angola, where it may be sympatric with Lygodactylus capensis 
(Smith, 1849). He also provided data on scale varation in this species. Recently, several individu¬ 
als of L. angolensis where collected in Cangandala National Park, Malanje Province (Ceriaco et al. 
2016b), which confirms its northern extent in the country.
