 Maliensis vs Dispar vs "Sudanese"

Okay, I’m a little confused. In some places I’ve seen U. maliensis listed as being the same as U. dispar, which is my first problem, while I’ve also seen U. dispar listed as "Sudan Uromastyx" or "Sudanese Uromastyx", which is generally a name also applied to U. ocellata. Can anyone shed any light on this? Is the maliensis/dispar thing to do with species reclassification over time, or previously-accepted species being reclassified as two different species or something similar?

I believe mali is technically U. dispar. maliensis
sudanese are U. ocellata. ocellata

I could be wrong but I believe this is what I had found at one point.. ill have to go back and find my old bookmarks and run through them again to check

isnt it U. ocellata ocellata and U. ornata ornata???
benti falls under ocellata and macfadyeni falls under ornata? i could be completely wrong on this but im going off the top of my head right now (not working out so well with actual work stuff today heh)

(right-click and "View Image" for larger)

However, some sources disagree even on this. Also check out what the CITES documentation says (Link).
