Material: PEM R 20024 (16b) and 21827 (48); ANG (23a).

Comment: Species boundaries in the Psammophis sibilans complex remain problematic ( Kelly et al. 2008). Our specimens accord with P. mossambicus (Broadley 2002) . Historical Angolan records assigned to P. brevirostris , P. leopardinus , P. mossambicus , P. phillipsi , and P. sibilans need to be carefully re-examined, and genetically assessed.
