bezi and Limpopo valleys into western 
Mozambique and Umpopo Province of South 
Africa.

Cubango: “Cuando basin (43)” [-17.53500, 
23.18916] (Conradie et al. 2016:25; Medina et 
al. 2016:411). 
Taxonomic and distributional notes: 
Greer (1974) erected the new genus Afroable- 
pharus for species with an ablepharine eye, 
following a suggestion first made by Smith 
(1935). Perret (1975) trQSitQd Afroablepharus as 
a subgenus of Panaspis. However, Medina et 
al. (2016) demonstrated that Panaspis was 
made paraphyletic by Afroablepharus and 
synonymized the latter with the former, which 
has priority. Conradie et al. (2016) collected a 
single individual of P. maculicollis from Cuando 
this species in Angola.

Cubango Province, establishing the first record of 
Panaspis aff. wahlbergii (Smith, 1849) Wahlberg’s Snake-Eyed Skink 
Cryptoblepharus walbergii [sic] Smith 1849:10. Syntypes: BMNH 1946.8.18.49-50 (formerly BMNH 
65.5.4.112-113). Other unloeated syntypes are implied (fide FitzSimons 1937:269). Type loeality: “eoun- 
try to the eastward of the Cape Colony” (Smith 1849:10), [= Natal], South Afriea. 
Ablepharus Wahlbergii'. Boeage (1895a:52). 
Ablepharus wahlbergii'. Boulenger (1905:111), Loveridge (1957:219). 
Afroablepharus wahlbergii'. FitzSimons (1937:269), Greer (1974:32), Perret (1975:8), Sehmitz et al.

and Broadley (2000:63), Braneh and Conradie 
(2015:200), Medina et al. (2016:410). 
Global conservation status (lUCN): Not 
Evaluated. 
Global distribution: Based on molecular 
data published by Medina et al. (2016) 
P. wahlbergii sensu stricto may be limited to 
southeastern Africa, however, specimens cur¬ 
rently assigned to P. wahlbergii sensu lato are 
distributed from Tanzania and the southern 
Democratic Republic of Congo south to South 
Africa. 
Ocurrences in Angola (Map 210): The 
species is poorly documented in Angola and it 
might be more widespread in the country. 
Benguela: “Cahata” [-13.73333, 15.06667] 
(Boeage 1895a:52). HmTa: “Caconda”
