Chamaeleo dilepis Leach, 1819

Flap-necked Chameleon

Material: SARCA 153813 (30a).

Comment: A common and widespread species in Angola ( Bocage 1895; Boulenger 1905; Schmidt 1933; Parker 1936; Monard 1937b; Laurent 1950, 1954, 1964; Ceríaco et al. 2016). Although Tilbury’s (2010) recent map of the species shows it limited in Angola to the western and central regions, it is probably more widespread. The gap in south-east Angola is partly filled by the lower Cuito specimen.
