Taxonomic and distributional notes: The “holotype” of A. aculeata was previously identi¬ 
fied as ZMB 750 (Denzer et al. 1997). However, Wagner et al. (2012) demonstrated that this spec¬ 
imen, actually 2 in Agama atra Daudin, 1802, was one of four syntypes. They reviewed the complex 
history of these specimens and selected as a lectotype the only one of the syntypes actually refer¬ 
able to A. aculeata as currently recognized. The species Agama hispida (Kaup, 1827) mvd Agama 
armata Peters, 1854 have previously been included in the Angolan fauna by early authors. Agama 
hispida is, however, endemic to South Africa and adjacent southwestern Namibia (Branch 1998; 
Bates et al. 2014) and Angolan citations to it are likely referable to A. aculeata or, in some cases, 
to the superficially simxXdiV Agama anchietae Bocage, 1896, with which it occurs sympatricaly in 
Southern Angola and Namibia. Agama armata likewise is extralimital, with a distribution in south¬ 
eastern Africa. 
Agama anchietae Bocage, 1896 Anchieta’s Agama

Global conservation status (lUCN): Not Evaluated. 
Global distribution: This species has an extensive geographical range that extends from the 
northwestern part of South Africa northwards through Namibia and Angola to the southern Demo¬ 
cratic Republic of the Congo. 
Ocurrences in Angola (Map 248): The species occurs chiefly in southern lowland regions of 
Angola, however, there are two isolated records in Bie Province, central Angola, which require 
confirmation. Bie: “Gauca” [-11.18333, 17.45000] (Schmidt 1933:9); “Chitau” [-11.43333,

Boulenger and Power 1921:269; Laurent 1947:5; Monard 1937b:59); “Benguella” [-12.58333, 
13.41667] (Bocage 1867b:221, 1895a:21, 1896b:127, 1897a:194; Laurent 1947:5; Monard
