Comments.

Angolan material has been historically assigned to Chamaeleo gracilis and C. senegalensis ( Marques et al. 2018) . Bocage sent two specimens under the name Chamaeleo gracilis on 25 May 1866 ( NHMA /DF/GüntherColl/16/1/110 ), and although Günther stated that “ Chamaeleo gracilis is certainly not a distinct species ” in a letter dated 29 June 1866 ( AHMB /CE/G79 ), Bocage (1866 a) referred his material from Duque de Bragança do this taxon, as did Boulenger (1887) when he cited the specimens presented to the British Museum.
