Abstract

"Angola has a diverse herpetofauna that includes seven species of amphisbaenians. Besides two of the generalized genus Zygaspis, there are five species of the spade-snouted genus Monopeltis, and three of the spade-snouted genus Dalophia. Two Monopeltis each from a single locality are here described as new, as is the most widely ranging species of Dalophia reported from seven localities in Angola and one in Zambia"-- P. [1].
