Comment: This species was previously assigned to Acanthocercus atricollis (Smith, 1849) until Wagner et al. (2018) revived the name A. cyanocephalus for western populations, which included Angola. Reported in several publications from Angola ( Bocage 1879, 1895; Ferreira 1902; Boulenger 1905; Monard 1931, 1937b; Schmidt 1933; Laurent 1950, 1964; Manaças 1963; Conradie et al. 2016; Ceríaco et al. 2018c; Marques et al. 2018), but material from Huíla Province belongs to a different species, which is in the process of being described ( Marques et al. 2018; Butler et al. 2019). Recently recorded in BNP ( Butler et al. 2019), abundant at the park’s headquarters, and found on large and tall Burkea africana trees.
