Lond., 1935:930 [1936]. TYPE LOCALITY: Ghana , Ashanti , Wenchi . DISTRIBUTION: Known only from type locality and SW Nigeria . COMMENTS: This species was known only by the holotype , but a few specimens have been recorded from SW Nigeria ( Anadu, 1979 ), and earlier Rosevear (1969) had suggested that two young animals from Wulehe, Togo , might be examples of S. jacksoni . Included in S. pratensis by Coetzee (1977a) , but retained as a species by Swanepoel and Schütter (1978), who preferred to recognize it until significance of the diagnostic character (size and shape of interparietal) could be assessed by additional specimens.
