tor W.J. Ansorge). Type loeality: “Maeonjo, Benguela” [= Fazenda Mueungo], Namibe Provinee, Angola. 
Mabuya laevis: Hellmieh (1957b:54), Laurent (1964a:76), Braneh (1998:155). 
Traehylepis laevis: Cerlaeo et al. (2016a:33, 57). 
Global conservation status (lUCN): Not Evaluated. 
Global distribution: This species inhabits in large rock cracks in granite outcrops, from the 
Kaokoveld of northern Namibia and Southern Angola. 
Ocurrences in Angola (Map 224): The 
species occurs in southern Angola, in desert 
areas. Kwanza Norte: “Piri-Dembos (record 
questionable)” [-8.56667,14.50000] (Hellmieh 
1957b:54). Namibe: “Munhino 50 km west Sa 
da Bandeira” [-14.96667, 12.96667] (Laurent

2016a:33). 
Taxonomic and distributional notes: 
Hellmieh (1957b) cited this species from “Piri- 
Dembos,” which is significantly further north 
than the type locality. Laurent (1964a) cited 
another specimen from Namibe Province and 
also expressed doubt about the validty of 
Hellmich’s specimen. The

Piri-Dembos” record is highly improbable and surely represents a 
misidentification, although it is not clear to which species it might actually belong.
