Material. HILLWOOD FARM: BMNH 2018.2754. Comments: One juvenile collected by the farm scouts in dry miombo. The BLAST search shows the closest match (98%) as Gerrhosaurus bulsi from Angola ( KF 717381). Broadley (1971, 1991) referred the population of Gerrhosaurus from Ikelenge (north-western Zambia) to multilineatus but this was later contested by Haagner et al. (2000). Bates et al. (2013) consider G. bulsi a valid species and discuss the taxonomic problems regarding G. multilineatus .
