If anybody is thinking of adding it, looking for Scelotes poensis in threatened species databases seems to be a deadend. GyrateTau (talk) 16:26, 18 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

IUCN, AWI, AZ Animals, CITES, Active Wild, National Geographic, and WWF have not shown any usable data. GyrateTau (talk) 16:44, 18 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The discovery appears to have been first noted in "Herpétologie d'Angola et du Congo, 1895" (Herpetology of Angola and the Congo). This may be useful in finding more information, and could potentially contain sketches.

However, it seems unlikely that it will be easy to find. Arguably harder than to find Elsevier's dictionary, as it may not be in publication. GyrateTau (talk) 12:27, 13 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
