Typhlosaurus aurantiacus parietalis Broadley, 1990 Arnoldia Zimbabwe, 9:469. Current name: Acontias parietalis (Broadley, 1990) Paratypes (3): a) PEM R9418–9419 (formerly AMG1597); Mseleni, KwaZulu-Natal Province, South Africa; collector and date unknown. b) PEM R9420 (formerly AMG 7607); Manaba, KwaZulu-Natal Province, South Africa; collector and date unknown. Remarks: The original labels on PEM R9418–19 read ‘no. 1597 Durban Museum, Pietermaritzburg’. The type description refers to both AMG 1597 and additional material NMP (112 and 128) from the same locality as the paratypes. We therefore believe that the PEM specimens were donated to the AMG by NMP, but no documentation to this effect exists. Bleached but otherwise in good condition. Elevated to full species by Pietersen et al. (2018).
