The rediscovery of Chamaeleo ruspolii (Reptilia: Chamaeleonidae) in Somaliland with notes on its taxonomy and life history

The rediscovery of Chamaeleo ruspolii (Reptilia: Chamaeleonidae) in Somaliland with notes on its taxonomy and life history Chamaeleo ruspolii belongs to the least known chameleon species at all due to its restricted range in hardly accessible region in the Horn of Africa. Recently, evidence of their existence was secured almost a century after the last specimen was collected, Photos of life specimens are presented together with information on their biotope, and their taxonomic status as a separate species is discussed.

Abstract

The rediscovery of Chamaeleo ruspolii (Reptilia: Chamaeleonidae) in Somaliland with notes on its taxonomy and life history Chamaeleo ruspolii belongs to the least known chameleon species at all due to its restricted range in hardly accessible region in the Horn of Africa. Recently, evidence of their existence was secured almost a century after the last specimen was collected, Photos of life specimens are presented together with information on their biotope, and their taxonomic status as a separate species is discussed. Key words: Chameleons, Horn of Africa, taxonomy, life history, Chamaeleo ruspolii
