Comments: Philothamnus heterolepidotus is known from sub-Saharan Africa, with a distribution across Sierra Leone to Sudan , western Ethiopia and Kenya and south to the Democratic Republic of Congo , Zambia and Angola ( Marques et al. 2018 ). Ferreira cited two specimens with the same temporal formula as this specimen, 1+1 – one from “Cambondo” as “ Philothamnus irregularis ” and another without locality info as “ Philothamnus Guntheri ” ( Ferreira 1906 ), rendering it difficult to assign the aforementioned specimen to either. After reviewing its morphology, which shows three supralabials in contact with the eye, we found it to closely resemble P. heterolepidotus , to which we here tentatively assign it.
