| Distribution | Namibia (Rehoboth, Windhoek Districts), elevation > 1500 m. Type locality: Kobos Farm, 40 miles south of Rehoboth, Namaqualand, Southwest Africa. |
| Reproduction | oviparous |
| Types | Holotype: DNMNH (= TM) 17574: Adult male; coll. V. FitzSimons, 21 July 1937. |
| Diagnosis | Diagnosis: To 53.5 mm SVL. This is the only member of the P. serval/weberi clade in which both the rostral and the first supralabial are typically excluded from the nostril. It may further be diagnosed by the following combination of characters: supranasals in broad contact anteriorly; scales on head flattened or granular, those on snout largest, gradually decreasing in size to small granules on interorbital and parietal regions, no tubercles on head; dorsal scalation largely homogeneous, velvety in appearance, but with scattered enlarged (4–8 times adjacent scales), smooth, flattened to feebly conical scales particularly evident on posterior portion of trunk, especially on sacrum; no tubercles on thighs, or thighs with small, smooth, unkeeled tubercles; digits moderately long, toe pads broadly dilated; typically 6 undivided lamellae under digit IV of pes; adult pattern of more-or-less regular dark bands (entire or broken) extending from flank to flank; tail to at least 113% SVL, bearing smooth, flattened, well-separated tubercles; both original and regenerated tail frequently thickened basally as a result of fat storage; adult pattern of chocolate brown crossbands and large spots on a pinkish-gray to pinkish-purple background; hatchling and young juvenile color pattern with three dark-bordered bold light bands: on nape, behind axillae and in presacral position (see Visser 1984: 49). |
