During a recent survey of the Serra da Neve inselberg in south-western Angola, a population of legless skinks of the genus  Acontias  was found. Only three species of this genus have been recorded for the country so far –  A. occidentalis ,  A. kgalagadi  and  A. jappi . Using an integrative approach and combining molecular and morphological data we found that the Serra da Neve population represents a new species, closely related to species such as  A. percivali  and some members of the  A. occidentalis  species complex. In this paper, we describe this population as a new species,  Acontias mukwandosp. nov.  and provide brief comments on its conservation and biogeography.

A new species of African legless skink, genus Acontias Cuvier, 1816 “1817” (Squamata: Scincidae) from Serra da Neve inselberg, south-western Angola
