Methuen & Hewitt, 1913

Eastwood's longtailed seps or Eastwood's whip lizard (Tetradactylus eastwoodae) was a species of lizard in the family Cordylidae. The species was endemic to South Africa. Its natural habitat was subtropical or tropical high-altitude grassland. It became extinct due to habitat loss.[2]



Etymology


The specific name, eastwoodae, is in honor of Miss A. Eastwood who collected the holotype.[3]



Extinction


The type locality for T. eastwoodae is the Haenertzberg area near Woodbush in the Letaba district approximately 5 km West of where the Magoebaskloof hotel now is, where two specimens were found during the early 20th century around 1911. Subsequently, the area has been intensively planted to Eucalyptus and Pinus tree species for commercial use, and the grasslands where this species once occurred have now been eradicated. Searches in remaining grasslands have not been able to establish that any living specimens remain, and since no specimens since 1911 have been found, it is now considered extinct.
