. Head and body dorsoventrally compressed; HL 11.1 mm, HW 7.4 mm, broadest at posterior level of eye and 1.5 times longer than wide. Eyes large (2.5 mm wide), pupil vertical with indented margins; circumorbital scales small and smooth, elongate at upper anterior margin, the most upper posterior scale with minute upward pointing spines. Snout rounded, 4.3 mm long, almost equal to distance between eye and ear openings (4.1 mm). Scales on top of snout slightly granular and elevated, rounded, mostly equal in size, with no intervening minute granules. Scales on snout slightly subequal in size to those on back of head or nape which, in turn, is irregular in size and mostly smooth. Scales on eyelids larger than those on the crown, 6 scales deep from circumorbital scales to crown. Circumorbital scales are separated by a row of smaller scales from the larger scales on eyelid. Nostril pierced between rostral, three nasal scales; 1st supralabial narrowly excluded from nostril; the supranasal being much larger than the subequal postnasals and being separated from each other by two smaller scales. Nostrils slightly elevated. Rostral roughly rectangular, but with its upper edges elongated due to extensions into the nostril. Nine supralabials on each side, the labial margin flexing upwards at the rictus (approx. mid-orbital position), with 2-3 minute scales proximal to the flexure. Eight infralabials on either side, with a small scale proximal to the flexure. At the lip, mental slightly narrower than adjacent infralabial, only three quarters the width of rostral and in contact with three distinctly elongated postmental scales. Scales on throat much smaller than those on belly; scales touching infralabials larger. Eleven scales across the crown at level of front of eye; 8 scales between nostril and front of eye; 14 scales from ear to eye; 73 scales around mid-body. Ear opening deep, oblique and roughly oval, backward pointing, much taller than wide (0.6

0.1 mm). Scales on dorsum smooth, non-overlapping, largest at mid-body, smaller on nape and tail base. Scales on ventrum flattened, not overlapping, more-or-less ovate at mid-ventrum, twice the size of lateral granules and 1.5 times those along backbone. Original tail slightly dorsoventrally flattened and distinctly verticillate (7 whorls in total), with obvious lateral constrictions; each verticil comprising 6 imbricate rows of scales dorsally and 5 imbricate scale rows ventrally and ventral scales approximately twice the size of those on the dorsal surface. Limbs well developed, hindlimbs slightly longer than forelimbs, both without obvious mite pockets at posterior margin of limb insertions, mite pockets present at anterior margin of hindlimbs. All digits with a large pair of distal scansors, separated by a large, curved claw and followed after a large gap (twice the length of terminal scansor) by a smaller pair of scansors; infero-median row of digital scales enlarged transversely, particularly towards the scansors, where the terminal scale adjoining the first pair of scansors may be medially constricted, swollen and scansor-like; 9 enlarged scale rows under 4th toe. Precloacal pores 12.

: Similar colouration and patterning to the holotype (preserved) and paratype (as above, in life). Dorsal crossbars are often fused to form an X-shape or are irregular. When present, crossbars number 5-6. Coastal material is often very light in colouration and not as boldly patterned or brightly coloured compared to highland material. Original tails with 6-7 broad, dark brown to black bars, separated by light beige to white bars, some specimens with a fine one-scale-wide black bar splitting the lighter bars. Regenerated tails with fine dark brown to black mottling. Juveniles with more sharply defined patterns.

This species was frequently observed at night in coastal areas hunting in small branches, bushes and small trees growing amongst rock crevices between large granite boulders. When disturbed, it quickly jumps to the rock faces and finds shelter under granite flakes. Mainly rupiculous, it is strongly associated with large granite boulders present throughout the semi-arid ecosystems of the Angolan Kaokoveld. Usually found in rocky habitats with succulent plants and dominated by acacia savannah (

). Occurs from near sea level to 500 m elevation. An apparently isolated population occurs on the Angolan highlands along the Humpata Plateau. This population occurs at a much higher elevation (above 2,000 m a.s.l.) and may warrant further phylogenetic analysis employing nuclear markers. The species seems common and widely distributed, mostly in relatively undisturbed habitat and, therefore, it is likely not threatened.
