Taxonomic and distributional notes: Agama congica was described by Peters (1877) as a 
variety of Agama colonorum. On the basis of the recommendation of Philipp Wagner, we have rec¬ 
ognized A. congica as specifically distinct. The distribution and affinities of this taxon are current¬ 
ly under study. Ceriaco et al. (2014b) considered that specimens of Capanda Dam, Malanje 
Province, were true congica, but recent reanalysis suggests that these specimens should be consid¬ 
ered as representatives of an as yet undescribed endemic form (see Agama sp. account). 
Agama mucosoensis Hellmich, 1957 Mucoso Agama (Endemic) 
Agama agama mucosoensis (Hellmich 1957a:44, pi. 8). Holotype: ZSM 117/53 (collector W. Hellmich). Type 
locality: “Mucoso hei Dondo” [= Mucoso, Dondo] Kwanza Norte Province, Angola. 
Agama agama mucosoensis: Hellmich (1957h:50). 
Agama mucosoensis: Wagner et al. (2012:184), Ceriaco et al. (2014b:670). 
Global conservation status (lUCN): Not Evaluated. 
Global distribution: The species is only known from Angola. 
Ocurrences in Angola (Map 250): The 
species is known only from the type locality 
and near areas in western Angola. Kwanza 
Norte: “Mucoso” [-9.53333, 14.65000] 
(Hellmich 1957a;44; Wagner et al. 2012. 18); 
“Dondo” [-9.66667, 14.41667] (Hellmich 
1957b:50; Wagner et al. 2012. 18). Kwanza 
Sul: “Libolo/Luati” [-9.98333, 14.90000] 
(Hellmich 1957b:50; Wagner et al. 2012. 18). 
Taxonomic and distributional notes: 
Hellmich (1957a) described Agama agama 
mucosoensis based on a type series of 72 spec¬ 
imens collected in “Mucoso bei Dondo”, 
Kwanza Norte Province, recently revalidated 
by Wagner et al. (2012) as a full species. The 
only published data for this species are from 
Kwanza Norte Province, although specimens 
have recently been deposited in the Museu Map 250. Distribution in Angola. 
Nacional de Historia Natural e da Ciencia Lisboa, Portugal from “Agucareira’^Bengo) and 
“Quifangondo” (Luanda), Angola (L. Ceriaco and M. Marques, pers. obs.). Ceriaco et al. (2014b) 
also suggested that the species might occur in Malanje Province. There is a possibility of confu¬ 
sion between this species and A. congica, both of which exhibit sexual dimorphism, and all histor¬ 
ical records should be reexamined with this in mind. 
Agama planiceps Peters, 1862 Namib Rock Agama

Global conservation status (lUCN): Not Evaluated. 
Global distribution: Agama planiceps occurs in the northwestern quadrant of Namibia and 
the southwestern quadrant of Angola. 
Ocurrences in Angola (Map 251): The species is known the true desert areas of Namibe 
province. Namibe: “Pico Azevedo” [-15.55000, 12.51667] (Schmidt 1933:9; Ceriaco et al.
