Bonner zoologische Beiträge 55 (2006) 83 - from T. toiirnevillei (type locality: Ouargla, Algeria) in having shorter body and head proportions, a smaller gu- iar pouch, and smooth to feebly keeled dorsal scales in- stead of keeled to strongly keeled ventral scales in T. toiirnevillei. From the available and potentially valid synonyms of T. mutabilis (synonymy after Wermuth 1967) the new species differs as follows: -íxomAgama inermis Reuss, 1833 (type locality: 'Ober- ägypten'= southern Egypt) in having smooth to feebly keeled dorsal scales and a more or less homogenous sca- lation. -ñomAgama giilaris Reuss, 1833 (type locality: 'Ober- ägypten'= southern Egypt) in having no strongly en- larged dorsal scales and smooth to feebly keeled dor- sal scales. - from Agama latastii Boulenger, 1885 (type locality: Egypt) in not having four pairs of quadrangular dark spots, body not depressed and in having a homogenous dorsal scalation intermixed with larger scales. - from Agama leiicostigina Reuss, 1833 (type locality: 'Oberägypten'= southern Egypt) in shorter head propor- tions. The latter has a long head with the broadest point before the ear hole and additionally only two mucronate scales on the superiorly margin of the ear hole. - from Agama áspera Werner, 1893 (type locality: Alger- ian Sahara between Kef-el-Dhor and Chegga; Biskra- Bordj-Saada; Zab-el-Zig south of El Meranyer) in ha- ving smooth or feebly keeled dorsal scales and in ha- ving two rows of preanal pores. Description of the holotype. Habitus stout, tail moder- ately longer than the body, limbs long. Measurements. Snout-vent length mm; tail length mm; head length mm; head height mm; head width mm; length of forelimb mm; length of hindlimb mm. Scalation. Nostril on canthus rostralis, pierced in the pos- terior part of a large, flat nasa
