Trioceros owenii (Gray, 1831)

On 28 March 2017 at 14h00 SM encountered a young male individual in Lékédi Park, showing three short horns ( Fig. 6 View Fig ). On 9, 12, and 15 January SM encountered and photographed three distinct adult males in Bakoumba, all on bare ground between houses in the village. They had distinctly more developed horns than the young individual shown on Fig. 6 View Fig . Put in presence of each other before being released, two males immediately began a fight. New record for the park and new Dept. record. In Haut-Ogooué Prov., this species had been recorded so far only from Franceville in Passa Dept. ( Pauwels et al. 2007) and from Akiéni in Lékoni-Lékori Dept. ( Pauwels et al. 2016a).
