Trachylepis cf. lacertiformis (Peters, 1854) Bronze Rock Skink 
Euprepes lacertiformis Peters 1854:618. Syntypes: ZMB 5523 (4 speeimens) (eolleetor W.C.H. Peters), lost 
fide Bauer et al. (2003). Type loeality: “Boror” [Mozambique], eonsidered in error for “Tete,” Mozam¬ 
bique fide Broadley (1975a). 
Mabuya laeertiformis: Broadley (1975a:12, 2000:101), Braneh (1998:154). 
Traehylepis laeertiformis'. Broadley (2004:324), Broadley and Maritz (2010b), Portik and Bauer (2012:128), 
Ceriaeo et al. (2016a:57). 
Global conservation status (lUCN): Least Concern. 
Global distribution: The species occurs from the southern end of Malawi Lake through the Tete 
District of Mozambique into eastern Zimbabwe and westwards along the Zambezi. The Angolan 
population is disjunct. 
Ocurrences in Angola (Map 223): The 
species occurs in an isolated population in 
southwestern Angola in Nambie and Cunene 
Province, near the Namibian border. Namibe: 
“Cainde, Mossamedes” [-15.48333, 13.36667] 
(Broadley 1975a: 12; Ceriaco et al. 2016a:57); 
“14 km NE of Caraculo, Mossamedes” 
[-14.90214, 12.74229] (Broadley 1975a: 12; 
Ceriaco et al. 2016a:57). Cunene: “Otchinjau, 
Huila” [-16.57903, 13.90516] (Broadley 
1975a: 12). 
Taxonomic and distributional notes: Tra¬ 
chylepis lacertiformis has frequently been con¬ 
fused with other species, particularly Tra¬ 
chylepis varia (Peters, 1867) (Broadley 1975). 
The status of the Angolan population with 
respect to supposed conspecifics in southeast 
Africa requires further investigation.
