About Pedioplanis undata (Smith, 1838)
Pedioplanis undata, formally described in 1838 by Smith, is a small, slender lizard species that closely resembles Pedioplanis namaquensis. It can be distinguished from P. namaquensis by a distinct window in its lower eyelid, which is formed by 2 to 4 large, semitransparent scales. Adult Pedioplanis undata have a snout-to-vent length (SVL) between 4.5 and 5 centimeters (1.8 to 2.0 inches), and their tail is very long, reaching almost three times the length of their SVL. This species occurs geographically in southern Namibia, and in northwestern Cape Province of South Africa. Pedioplanis undata is oviparous. When newly hatched, each hatchling has a total length including the tail of 5.5 to 7.5 centimeters (2.2 to 3.0 inches).
