Taxonomy

Animalia Chordata Vertebrata Reptilia Squamata Sauria Chamaeleonidae Kinyongia Kinyongia gyrolepis

Taxonomic notes: Kinyongia gyrolepis is the sister species to Kinyongia adolfifriderici and superficially looks very similar (Greenbaum et al. 2012). Its name, however, is a reference to the enlarged circular scales that are found on its flanks, a trait not seen in Kinyongia adolfifriderici.

No annual CITES export quotas for K. gyrolepis have been issued through 2013 (CITES 2013) and there is no reported trade in this species between 1977 and 2011 (2012 and 2013 trade data is incomplete or unavailable) (UNEP-WCMC 2013). This species is not known to be present in the captive market, although illegal trade and/or harvest may occur on occasion.
