Comment:		Co-ordinates are 22 59.228' S, 29 36.875' E, therefore Locus should be 2229DC. This just falls outside of the known distrbution of L. bradfieldi, for what that is worth. However, this individual has 5 perinasal scales (rostral, 1st UL, three post-nasals) which are all large, indicating L. capensis (see Jacobsen 2011).
