Ground Agama

Material: NB770 (32).

Comment: Ground Agamas occur widely in southern Africa ( Bates et al. 2014) and are reported throughout Angola ( Marques et al. 2018). The taxonomy of Angolan populations remains unresolved, and a recent phylogeny of Agama ( Leaché et al. 2014) did not include Angolan samples. Recently recorded in BNP ( Butler et al. 2019), in this study it was found on the ground in degraded shrubland in the outskirts of BNP.
