Taxonomic and distributional notes: The name Lacerta monitor Linnaeus, 1758 initially 
assoeiated with this and other speeies of varanids, was rejeted by the ICZN under Opinion 540 and 
Lacerta nilotica, based on a speeimen deseribed by Hasselquist (1757) is the aeeepted name. 
Varanus niloticus eomprises three major elades of monitors, with the sole Angolan sample inelud- 
ed elustering with a very broadly distributed southern elade, also ineluding virtually all samples 
south of 3°N (Dowell et al. 2016). This ineludes those speeimens in this geographie range that had 
previously been assigned to Varanus ornatus (Daudin, 1803) whieh had been elevated to full 
speeifie status by Bohme and Ziegler (1997) based on external features, partieularly eolor.
