Ischnurus hahni: Peters 1862: 27 .

Ischnurus taeniurus Thorell, 1876 a: 254–258 .

Hadogenes angolensis Lourenço, 1999: 932–936 , figs 1–17, 19, 20, 23, 25, table I (synonymised by Prendini 2005 b: 376, 384–386).

Material examined: 1 subad. ♂ ( SMN 167 ), Uis mine, Uis R. [21°11'S: 14°52'E], 12.ix.1962, B. Grobbelaar; 1 ♂ ( TMSA 9416 View Materials ), Uis tin mine, Uis [21°13'S: 14°51'E], 30.iii.1969, J.J. Nel; GoogleMaps 1 juv. ♂ ( AMNH [ AH 1416 ]), Uis, 5 km W [21°15'S: 14°50'E], 15.iv.1980, A. Harington, in rock cracks, syntopic with U. planimanus GoogleMaps .

Ecology and distribution: This lithophilous species shelters in the cracks and crevices, and under the exfoliating flakes, of weathered rock outcrops and under stones resting on bedrock (Lamoral 1979; Prendini 2001 b). It is endemic to Angola and Namibia (Lamoral 1979; Prendini 2005 a, b) and has been collected in areas to the southeast of the Brandberg, but not on the Massif itself.
