Taxonomic and distributional notes: 
Previously considered as a subspecies of 
T. striata (Peters, 1844), Branch (1998), 
Broadley (2000) and all subsequent authors 
have considered this species specifically dis¬ 
tinct. Conradie et al. (2016) published numer¬ 
ous records of T. aff spilogaster from Cuando 
Cubango. We think it is highly unlikely that 
these records refer to the same lineage as true 
T. spilogaster. The true affinities of this popu¬ 
lation will require a comprehensive revision of 
the Trachylepis of Angola.
