At the base of each sulcal rotula is a large fleshy papilla; medially and somewhat distally of these papillae another pair of isolated papillae is present. Chamaeleo montium Buchholz, 1874 (Fig. 8) ZFMK 8844, 9067, 9069, 15287 and 15288 Buea, Mt. Cameroon, Cameroon Hemipenes stoutly built and truncated, pedicel one third of hemipenislength. The trun- cus is coarsely calyculate, the well developed sulcal lips and sulcus spermaticus without ornamentation. Apex with two pairs of small denticulated rotulae. The rotulae are posi- tioned towards the sulcal side of the hemipenis, so they cannot be observed from the asulcal side (cf. the hemipenis of C. hoehnelii, Böhme & Klaver 1980). Numerous fleshy papillae are concentrated in two symmetrically arranged fields medially of the sulcal rotulae. Up to 16 papillae/field may be present. Chamaeleo cristatus Stutchbury, 1837 ZMA 10157 Foulassi, Cameroon The hemipenes of this species resemble those of C. oweni. The apex possesses also four sickle-shaped rotulae with minutely serrated margins. The ridges of the calyces extend over the apex and dissolve gradually in fringes and finally in papillae. A major dif- ference is the presence of numerous papillae grouped in two symmetrically arranged papillary fields that are located next to the sulcal rotulae. Each field consists of 8 to 9 papillae. Moreover, a few scattered papillae are present between these papillary Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Bonn, Zoologisches Forschungsinstitut und Museum Alexander Koenig
