Taxonomic and distributional notes: Typhlacontias p. bogerti appears to be endemic to 
Angola, restricted to northern Namib Desert in Iona Park west of the Coroca Sand Sea and south 
of the town of Namibe (Haacke 1965, 1997; Branch 1998).

Evaluated. 
Global distribution: The species is limit¬ 
ed to the Kalahari sand regions of southeastern 
Angola, northwestern Namiba, northern 
Botswana, western Zimbabwe and southern 
Zambia. 
Ocurrences in Angola (Map 236): In 
Angola known only from the southeastern part 
of the country. Cunene: “Chimporo” 
[-16.03333, 17.15000] (Monard 1937b:96). 
Cuando Cubango: “Lwankundu River, sub¬ 
tributary of Kwando” (Angel 1923:164; Bry¬ 
goo 1985:92; Haacke 1997:152); “Cuando

Taxonomic and distributional notes: 
Guibe (1954) incorrectly listed “Huilla” as the type locality, without justification (Brygoo 1985).

Typhlacontias rudebecki Haacke, 1997 Rudebeck’s Blind Dart Skink (Endemic) 
Typhlacontias rudebecki Haacke 1997:155, fig. 5. Holotype: TM 25465 (collector G. Rudebeck). Type local¬ 
ity: “Sao Nicolau, Mogamedes [= Namibe] district, Angola (1412Ad).” 
Typhlacontias rudebecki: Ceriaco et al. (2016a:58). 
Global conservation status (lUCN): Not Evaluated. 
Global distribution: The species is known from Angola. 
Ocurrences in Angola (Map 237): The species is only known from the type locality. Nami¬ 
be: “Sao Nicolau, Mo9amedes [= Namibe]” [-14.26667, 12.36667] (Haacke 1997:155; Ceriaco et 
al. 2016a:58). 
Taxonomic and distributional notes: This species was described by Haacke (1997) based on 
a single specimen from “Sao Nicolau, Mogamedes [= Namibe]” collected by G. Rudebeck. 
According to the orginal description this species is closer to Typhlacontias rohani Angel, 1923 and 
Typhlacontias gracillis Roux, 1907, than to the Namib species, however, its general proportions 
differ and its habitat, although not explicitly recorded, is coastal Namib Desert.
