Meroles anchietae

(BOCAGE, 1867)

Meroles anchietae (Bocage, 1867) occurs in the Northern Namib Desert sand sea, from Torra Bay to the Kunene River (slipfaces on aeolean dunes). This species occurs in the Skeleton Coast Park.

Meroles sp. (Griffin et al. in prep.) occurs in the Southern & central Namib Desert sand seas from Swakopmund, south to Chamais Bay (2715Dc) (slipfaces on aeolean dunes). Gordon & Griffin (1989) and Lamb & Bauer (in prep.) found the southern population of M. anchietae to diverge significantly from the northern Namib population which is separated by a distance of 290 km. This species occurs in the Walvis Bay Reserve, Namib-Naukluft Park and the Sperrgebiet.
