  abstract = {{B}ased on molecular, morphological and field data, the status and zoogeography of the taxa of the {P}sammophis sibilans group north of 12°{S} are reviewed. {M}olecular data including sequences from 20 of the 22 described species known


to occur north of 12°{S} suggest that {P}. sibilans distribution is restricted to northeastern {A}frica, from {E}gypt to {E}thiopia. {P}opulations from {W}est {A}frica are described as a new species, {P}. afroccidentalis sp. nov., and those from {C}had, {C}ameroon and


{C}entral {A}frican {R}epublic are assigned to {P}. rukwae which is also distributed from {T}anzania to {E}thiopia. {M}olecular data indicate the occurrence within this complex of three additional cryptic species in the {H}orn of {A}frica. {P}opulations previous-


ly assigned to {P}. phillipsi in {C}entral {A}frica north, south and east of the {C}ongo forest block are assigned to {P}. mossambicus and the status of {P}. occidentalis is discussed. {P}. phillipsi is restricted to {W}est {A}frica, with {P}. irregularis as junior synonym.},
