Taxonomic and distributional notes: Trachylepis wahlbergU was long considered a sub¬ 
species of T. striata (Peters, 1844) (e.g., Broadley 1977a; Branch 1998), but following Broadley 
(2000), the former subspecies in this complex have been treated as full species. However, Castig- 
ilia et al. (2006) provided a molecular data analyses that suggested that T. striata and T. wahlbergU 
may not be reciprocally monophyletic. All records in the T. striata complex from across Namibia 
are assignable to T. wahlbergU as are all records from western Zambia. It would seem likely, there¬ 
fore that members in this group in Angola would also be assignable to this taxon. Color patterns of 
Angolan members of the group are variable and some specimen do at least superficially resemble 
true T. striata. However, it is probable on biogeographic grounds that most or all older Angolan lit¬ 
erature records of‘T. striata” are, in fact, referable to T. wahlbergU, or perhaps to another species, 
but not to T. striata sensu stricto. Nonetheless, only in recent years have newly collected specimens 
been assigned to T. wahlbergU at the outset, e.g., specimens from near Mavinga (Branch and 
McCarthy 1992), and from Lunda Norte Province (Branch and Conradie 2015), and recently in 
Malanje Province (M. Marques pers. obs), in the the Laiica Dam area. Further research is needed
