Taxonomic notes: Wermuth (1967) considered Agama cornii, known from a single specimen with the type locality Om Ager (in Eritrea) a doubtful species. Moody (1980) formally synonymized A. cornii within A. hartmanni, however, this work was an unpublished doctoral thesis and no justification was presented for this decision (Wagner and Bauer 2011). This revision was followed by Largen and Spawls (2010) who indicated that A. cornii was an invalid name. Wagner and Bauer (2011) investigated the taxonomy of poorly-known species of Agama from the Horn of Africa, and found that the sole specimen of A. cornii is identical to the types of A. hartmanni, confirming that A. cornii is a junior synonym of A. hartmanni.
