Comments: Currently six species of Agama are known from Angola: Agama aculeata Merrem, 1820 ; Agama anchietae Bocage, 1896 ; Agama congica Peters, 1877 ; Agama mucosoensis Hellmich, 1957 ; Agama planiceps Peters, 1862 and finally Agama schacki Mertens, 1938 ( Marques et al. 2018). As a revision of the genus is currently ongoing (Wagner et al. in prep.), we choose to refer to the present specimens as Agama sp. Ferreira (1904) reported two males (adult and juvenile) of “ Agama colonorum ” from “Lembu, Serra de Selles”, matching MHNC-UP/ REP314, and later two juveniles from “Cambondo” and “Golungo” ( Ferreira 1906).
