Remarks: Calotes gutturosus Schlegel constitutes a taxon different from Calotes gutturosa Merrem, 1819 and “ Calotes Agama gutturosa Merrem, 1820 ” (see Dubois 2022, Denzer & Tillack 2024, submitted). The name had been published first as a synonym (Art. 11.6.1, ICZN 1999) in Duméril & Bibron (1837) and was made available by Rüppel (1845) and Gray (1845) as Bronchocela gutturosa Schlegel in Duméril & Bibron, 1837. Dubois (2022) subsequently placed Calotes gutturosus Schlegel in the synonymy of Bronchocela jubata Duméril & Bibron, 1837 . Specimens listed in the Leyden collection (now Naturalis) under the name Calotes gutturosus and available to Schlegel prior to the 1837 have syntype status for Calotes gutturosus Schlegel in Duméril & Bibron, 1837. Both specimens (RMNH.RENA.3020 & 3049) came into the collection in the 1820ies. Their original name Calotes gutturosus was changed in the handwritten catalogue after 1837 to Bronchocela jubata . Amarasinghe et al. (2022) designated MNHN-RA 2542 as the lectotype for Bronchocela jubata without considering the RMNH material as original syntypes. Through their lectotype designation these two specimens become additional paralectotypes (Denzer & Tillack 2024, submitted).
