Taxonomic and distributional notes: 
Bocage (1867b) first named Euprepes binota- 
tus, from three localities in Benguela Province, 
but without a description or diagnosis. In the 
subsequent paper, Bocage (1867d) published a 
detailed description but noted only the locality 
“Benguella” by name. The original type series 
was large and syntypes were sent to Bocage’s 
correspondents at other major European muse¬ 
ums. Boulenger (1887) erroneously listed the 
BMNH syntype under Mabuya quinquetaenia- 
ta.
