HABITATS AND DISTRIBUTION. — Trachylepis perrotetii is widespread in Togo, and has been recorded from all the five ecological zones of the country. It colonizes many habitats, and is especially common in open areas. It was first cited to occur in Togo by Matschie (1893).

NOTES

This species occurs with two forms, one of them being much more robust and of greater size than the other. We considered these two forms as intraspecific variation, showing variation in the absence of the pair of transversal nuchals, but further research may be needed in this regard.
