Gerrhosaurus multilineatus Bocage, 1866
Material (three specimens): One adult specimen (MHNCUP/REP 233, formerly UP-MHNFCP-017373; Fig. S34 View FIGURE S ), collected from unknown locality, date unknown; one adult specimen (MHNCUP/REP 234 formerly UP-MHNFCP- 094970), collected from Cabiri [-8.92125º, 13.66654º, 31 m a.s.l.] Bengo Province, in 1904 ; one adult specimen (MHNCUP/REP 235, formerly UP-MHNFCP-017371), collected from Bahia dos Tigres [= Baía dos Tigres] (in error) [-16.58559º, 11.82709º, 98 m a.s.l.] Namibe Province, in 1905 .
Comments: Gerrhosaurus multilineatus is an Angolan endemic species known from central and western regions of the country ( Marques et al. 2018). The taxonomic identity of this species has been a topic of confusion as noted by Bates et al. (2013) and Marques et al. (2018). Ferreira (1904) cited a juvenile specimen from “Cabiri” as “ Gerrhosaurus nigrolineatus, Hall ” that might correspond to MHNCUP/REP 234, as the specimen was identified as such on the label of its jar. The locality “Bahia dos Tigres” found on MHNCUP/REP 235 is most likely an error.
