Mehelya capensis (Smith, 1847) 1847 Heterolepis capensis Smith, Illustrations of the zoology of South Africa, Reptiiia. Specimens examined. None. Additional specimens. CAS 150988. Remarks: This voucher is catalogued at CAS as M. c. sa- vorgnani Mocquard, 1887. Further data are not available. Natriciteres olivácea (Peters, 1854) 1854 Coronelía olivácea Peters. Monatsber. Königl. Akad. Wiss. Berlin 1854: 614-628. Specimens examined. ZFMK 82035. Remarks: TV. olivácea inhabits water bodies in bushland and savannah regions. In contrast to the described habi- tats (e. g. Spawls et al. 2002; Marais 2004), our speci- men was collected basking on dense vegetation on the shore of the Isiukhu inside the northern part of the forest. But there is another specimen collected inside a forest by Ullenbruch (2003) in Benin. Philothammis battersbyi Loveridge, 1951 1951 Philothamnus irregularis hattershyi Loveridge, Bull. Mus. Comp, zool. Harvard 106: 51. Specimens examined. NMK S/3986, S/3992; ZFMK 82048. Additional specimens. CAS 150978-980, 153223. Remarks: Philothammis is probably one of the most dif- ficult, for the taxonomists, reptile genera in Africa. But P. battersbyi is relatively easy to identify by the unifonn green colouration, two supralabials entering the eye, a di- vided anal scale, 15 midbody scale rows and no keels on the subcaudal scales. It can only be conftised with the like- wise uniform green P. angolensis. Most vouchers collect- ed within the study were found in Buyangu
