  • A Review of the Species of Psammophis Boie Found South of Latitude 12° S (Serpentes: Psammophiinae)
    African Journal of Herpetology, 2002 51(2): 83-119. Original article A review of the species of Psammophis Boie found south of Latitude 12° S (Serpentes: Psammophiinae) DONALD G. BROADLEY Research Associate, Natural History Museum of Zimbabwe, Bulawayo Present address: Biodiversity Foundation for Africa,P.O. Box FM 730, Famona, Bulawayo, Zimbabwe [email protected] Abstract.—The status, relationships and zoogeography of the 14 taxa of Psammophis found south of Latitude 12° S are reviewed and the following taxonomic changes are proposed: 1. Psammophis trinasalis and P. namibensis, previously treated as subspecies of P. leightoni, are recognised as good evolutionary species which show ecological differences. 2. Psammophis orientalis, previously regarded as a subspecies of P. subtaeniatus, differs from the lat- ter in a suite of characters and is parapatric with it in Zimbabwe, so it is now recognised as an evolu- tionary species. 3. Psammophis brevirostris and P. leopardinus, previously regarded as subspecies of P. sibilans (Linnaeus), are recognised as relict evolutionary species. The Zambian populations previously assigned to P. leopardinus have been described as a new species (Hughes & Wade, in press). Key words.—Psammophis, morphology, taxonomy, zoogeography, southern Africa ince the last review of the genus mossambicus has subsequently been applied to SPsammophis in southern Africa (Broadley this eastern sister taxon of P. phillipsii 1977), a revision of the whole genus was the (Hallowell) by Branch (1998) and Hughes subject of a thesis by Frank Brandstätter (1999).

Youth – Adventure – Fun – Leadership – Sport WELCOME AT DUIN IN DIE WEG OUTDOOR EDUCATION AND SPORTS CENTRE DUIN IN DIE WEG Who we are Outdoor education - Sport - Accommodation - Conferences & functions DUIN IN DIE WEG is a guest farm with an established Outdoor Education and Sports Centre, catering primarilly for the school going youth. We also offer excellent accommodation and programmes for various groups, tourists, and have facilities for conferences and functions. Our aim is to please each of our guests with an unforgettable experience by the time they leave us. Where can you find us? DUIN IN DIE WEG is located along the Orange River, 2 kilometers from the N10, between Upington and Groblershoop. The name is derived from our particular environment, being one of the few places where the Kalahari dunes and the Orange River meet. In the earlier years, after windy conditions, sand was blown over and covered the roads in the area, hence the dune in the road. The farm encapsulates all the contrasts of the beautiful Northern Cape – from the Kalahari dunes to the great green belt along the Orange river. This is a truly unique place where different ecosystems come together. What we do Being located on a privately owned farm that comprises over 2000 hectares, it is the perfect destination for outdoor education. Our outdoor educational and sport programmes are appropriately designed to fit different groups and focus on the environment, adventure, fun, leadership and sport. We cater for all grades, schools, teams and other groups.
