Varanus albigularis angolensis Schmidt, 1933 View in CoL
Angolan Savanna Monitor ( Fig. 23)
Material: One photographic record (M. Finckh, site 40).
Comment: Several records of Varanus albigularis from Angola have been assigned to two different subspecies ( Marques et al. 2018). Schmidt (1933) described V. a. angolensis from ‘Gaúca, Bihe’ (= Zaúca River, Malanje) ( Crawford-Cabral and Mesquitela 1989), and the BNP record is assigned to this taxon. This species still needs a wide-ranging phylogenetic assessment. The individual was observed in the ecotone between grassland and woodlands.
