Draco dussumieri
Duméril & Bibron, 1837: 456
Syntype
:
RMNH
.
RENA
.2954,
Malabar
, coll.
Dussumier
Type locality
: “Bengale et cote de Malabar”, restricted to Malabar by
Smith (1935)
Remarks
:
Musters (1983: 23)
argued that a specimen in the Leiden collection (RMNH.RENA.2954) was also collected by Dussumier in Malabar and that it should be considered as a third
syntype
. The remaining
syntypes
are deposited in Paris under MNHN-RA 2590 (2048) Ag 5, Bengale; MNHN-RA 6909 (2049) Ag 5/1, Bengale, Dussumier.
The Naturalis specimen was not listed in
Uetz
et al
. (2019)
. The restriction of the type locality by
Smith (1935)
is technically invalid as no
lectotype
was designated.
