A juvenile (RBINS 18472) was found dead-on-road on 2 November 2016 by SM near the camp of the Projet Protection des Gorilles (PPG) of the Aspinall Foundation in the northern part of the Plateaux Batéké NP. It has a snout-vent length of 47 mm and a tail length of 105 mm. Its dorsal scales are keeled, its ventral scales smooth; its caudal scales are all keeled, except the ventral ones at the base of the tail. New locality record. This lizard is common in the savannas and coastal grasslands of Gabon and has already been recorded in nine national protected areas ( Christy et al. 2008; Pauwels and Vande weghe 2008; Vande weghe 2008: 156–157).
