= Draco timoriensis Kuhl, 1820

Holotype (by monotypy): RMNH. RENA 2903 , one male, Semau, coll. S. Müller & H. Macklot

Terra typica: Semau Island, East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia

Remarks: The species epithet derives from the historic Dutch name of an island southwest off Timor (10° 13’S, 123° 22’E), i. e. Samao or Semao. Draco viridis var. samaoensis was synonymized with D. timoriensis by Musters (1983). Kuhl (1820: 103) based his description of D. timoriensis on two specimens deposited in Paris and referred to Péron as the original author.
