	abstract = {<p><jats p="">The lacertid Latastia ornata was known to date only by its holotype collected in 1938 in Bafat\&aacute;, central Guinea-Bissau. We report new specimens and localities from Guinea-Conakry, a new country record and major range extension of 700 km SE of the type-locality. We provide an updated diagnosis of the species, including the first genetic and osteological data, and confirm that Latastia ornata is closely related to, but distinct from, L. longicaudata based on external morphology, cranial osteology, DNA data and zoogeography. \&nbsp;</jats></p>
