 Comments
       
  Comment: Status: IUCN 2003 and IUCN/SSC Action Plan (2001) - Lower Risk (lc)  
    Comments: thebaica species group. Reviewed by Van Cakenberghe and De Vree (1998). The status of brockmani and damarensis remains unclear; these forms may represent distinct species, see discussion in Van Cakenberghe and De Vree (1998). Also see Harrison and Bates (1991) and Gray et al. (1999)
