COMMENTS.— Pedioplanis haackei is one of the latest additions to the herpetofauna of Angola, and is endemic to southern Angola. Each of our specimens has 10 to 12 longitudinal rows of ventral scales, a semi-transparent lower eyelid with a brille formed of two large scales, five to six supralabials anterior to the subocular, two rows of granules separating supraoculars from supraciliaries, and the typical coloration with dots on the flanks, concordant with the diagnostic characters presented by Conradie et al. (2012) in the species description. Genetically, our specimens (GenBank accession numbers KU662311–KU662318) have an average 16S p-distance of 1% from those of Conradie et al. (2012) (GenBank accession numbers HE794000, HE793999.1; HE793998.1; HE793997.1; HE793996.1; HE793995.1; HE793994.1; HE793994.3).
