Taxonomic and distributional notes: The Boaedon fuliginosus complex, includes Boaedon 
lineatus Dumeril, Bibron and Dumeril, 1854, Boaedon fuliginosus (Boie, 1827) and Boaedon 
capensis (Bibron and Dumeril, 1854) as well as the taxa B. angolensis and B. variegatus, listed 
above. Recent molecular analyses conducted by Kelly et al. (2011) demonstrated extensive genet¬ 
ic variation in the widespread B. fuliginosus, suggesting several cryptic species are present. Sever¬ 
al names are available for putative taxa within the B. fuliginosus complex, and additional genetic 
sampling and extensive morphological analyses are needed to update the taxonomy of this group 
(Greenbaum et al. 2015). Broadley et al. (in prep) are trying to evaluate species boundaries in the 
group and the concomitant application of names. Wallach et al. (2014) assigned the Angolan 
records to B. fuliginosus, however, we have separately listed those records which appear to be 
unambiguously assignable to B. angolensis and B. variegatus. Citation records in this account 
may also refer to one of these other taxa, but this cannot be determined without a moe thorough 
revision.
