Ocurrences in Angola (Map 285): The 
species occurs in the northwestern regions of 
the country. Kwanza Norte: “Piri-Dembos” 
[-8.56667, 14.50000] (Hellmich 1957b:77; 
Mananas 1981:42). 
Taxonomic and distributional notes: 
Chippaux (2006, 2009) incorrectly placed the 
type locality of Atractaspis heterochilus in 
Tanzania. Dobiey and Vogel (2007) indicated a 
presumed range across northwestern Angola 
including Cabinda, but did not show its distri¬ 
bution as including the type locality of 
Albertville, or any ppart of the eastern Demo¬ 
cratic Republic of Congo. Angola was not 
included in the distribution as stated by Wal- 
lach et al. (2014).
