255 
Global distribution: This taxon occupies much of Angola except the southeast, as well as 
western Zambia and the former Katanga Provinee of the Democratic Republic of Congo. The 
extent of its extralimital distribution is not known.

species is widely distributed in Angola, except 
in the southeast, where it is replaced by 
T damarana. Kwanza Norte: “Ambaca”

Taxonomic and distributional notes: Although considered as Trachylepis varia by most 
authors who have cited these skinks for Angola, a recent molecular and morphological review 
(Weinell and Bauer 2018) demonstrated that true T. varia is absent from Angola, with the Angolan 
""varia'" belonging to a separate clade that extends from Angola to Zambia. As noted by Weinell and 
Map 216. Distribution of Trachylepis cf albopunctata in 
Angola.
