Oedura transvaalica Hewitt, 1925

Records of the Albany Museum, 3:350; Plate XVII, Fig. 1 .

Current name: Afroedura transvaalica ( Hewitt, 1925)

Syntypes (2): PEM R16072–73 (formerly AMG 5114 ; TMP 3491–2 ) ; N’jele River, Soutpansberg district , Limpopo Province, South Africa; Mr. G.P.F van Dam, June 1916 .

Remarks. The original description lists all types (a series of nine specimens) in the Transvaal Museum, although Mashinini & Mahlangu (2013) indicate that TMP 3491–2 were sent to J. Hewitt at AMG on 3 August 1925. Both specimens are in fair condition, but PEM R16073 has a detached tail.
