I thus suggest that only the oldest trivial name be retained. A. magnificus thus has the following synonyms: abeli, acutirostris, crassifrons, cruentus, laticeps, levops, lotziy minor, minusculus, parvus, priscus and vorsteri. Motivation for the synonymy can be given as follows: cruentus, levops, minor, minusculus and parvus, because the holotypes are immature animals; lotzi and priscus because the specimens are specifically indeterminable; abeli, acutirostris, crassifrons, laticeps, major and vorsteri because the characters used appear to be either the results of post-mortem deformation or, the degree of the pachyostosis and this as far as the pachyostosis is concerned, would fall within the range possible for individual variation and the age or Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original South African Museum.
