Taxonomic and distributional notes: The status of Ichnotropis overlaeti has not been criti¬ 
cally assessed. Its substantially disjunct distribution relative to the nominotypical form suggests 
that it is likely valid at either a subspecific or specific level. 
Ichnotropis microlepidota Marx, 1956 Marx’s Rough-Scaled Lizard (Endemic) 
Ichnotropis microlepidota Marx 1956:5, fig. 1. Holotype: FMNH 74285 (collector G. Heinrich). Type locali¬

Ichnotropis microlepidota: Marx (1959:461), Edwards et al. (2013a: 110), Ineich and Le Graff (2015:477).

Global distribution: The species is known 
Ocurrences in Angola (Map 172): The 
species is known only for the type locality “Mt. 
Moco” in Huambo Province. Huambo; “Mt. 
Moco” [-12.41667, 15.18333] (Parker 
1936:135; Marx 1956:5, 1959:461). 
Taxonomic and distributional notes: 
Parker (1936) identified a specimen from “Mt. 
Moco” as Ichnotropis bivittata (Bocage, 1966), 
however he noted that the specimen had some 
different characters, which might represent 
racial differentiation. Marx (1956) included 
this specimen, along with a series of lizards 
also from “Mt. Moco” as Ichnotropis 
microlepidota. According to Edwards et al. 
(2013a) and Ineich and Le Graff (2015) the sta¬ 
tus of this taxon remains equivocal, until fur¬ 
ther review of the genus with new material for 
molecular phylogenetic analyses.
