.
Trioceros feae
(
Boulenger, 1906
)
:
Tilbury & Tolley 2009: 66
.
Distribution
. Endemic to Bioko. In Bioko it has been recorded at Moka (
Boulenger 1906
;
Mertens 1964a
) (
Map 5B
).
Comments.
It is usually found at high elevations (
1200–1500 m
) (
Mertens 1964a
). It is closely allied to
T. camerunensis
(
Pook & Wild 1997
)
. Five specimens conserved at the EBD collection are included in the same jar with
two specimens
of two different species, a single one of
T. cristatus
and another one of
C. dilepis
, all of them labelled as coming from San Joaquín de Ndyiacom,
Río Muni
, and sharing the number EBD 31501. However,
T. feae
is endemic to Bioko and this case likely represents a labelling mistake.
Specimens examined.
Six specimens. Bioko: Moka,
Bioko Sur
,
23 July 1984
(EBD 18598). Labelling mistake, “San Joaquín de Ndyiacom” for the specimens B-9271, B-9595, B-9203, B-9363, B-9266 (all of them share the label EBD 31501 with a specimen of
Trioceros cristatus
and another one of
Chamaeleo dilepis
).
