		Description It is easily confused with the spotted sand lizard (Pedioplanis lineoocellata), but can be distinguised from the latter by the subocular scale that does not reach the lip.
		In all Pedioplanis species the subocular reaches the lip.
		The head and body are moderately depressed, and the snout is well-rounded with no sharp edge.

	Foraging and Trophic Ecology
		Intercontinental comparisons of proportions of total species in various foraging modes are also instructive: a full 60% of North American lizard species are sit-and-wait foragers, compared to only 16% in the Kalahari and 18% in Australia; percentages of widely-foraging species are 14% (North America), 27% (Kalahari), and 36% (Australia).
		Two species of Kalahari lizards, Pedioplanis lineoocellata and Meroles suborbitalis, sit-and-wait for prey, whereas two other syntopic species, Heliobolus lugubris and Pedioplanis namaquensis), forage widely for their food (Pianka et al.
		Time budgets of these lacertids reflect their modes of foraging (Pianka 1986).
