Oedura tembulica Hewitt, 1926a

Annals of the South African Museum, 20(6):415

Current name: Afroedura tembulica (Hewitt, 1926)

Syntypes (19): PEM R9448–66 (formerly AMG 5033 , 5044 , 5028 ) ; Cofimvaba, Tembuland, Eastern Cape Province, South Africa; Mr. C.W. Wilmot, 28 May 1925 .

Remarks. Hewitt did not designate a type or illustrate any specimens. The type series consists of adult (PEM R9448, 9452, 9454–56, 9491–62, 9464–9465) and juvenile (PEM R9449–50, 94553, 9457–60, 9463, 9466) material. All are in good condition, except some with detached tails. One of the original syntypes was exchanged by Hewitt (from the AMG) to MCZ (now R 22094) with the series of Oedura karroica wilmoti (see above) on 22 January 1926 according to MCZ’s online database.
