Trioceros cristatus (Stutchbury, 1837) View in CoL

In a booklet on the animals of Gabon, Le Garff (2015) presented the photograph of an adult male Trioceros cristatus with a well-developed dorsal crest, without a precise locality. This photograph was actually taken in the vivarium of Lékédi Park (Le Garff, pers. comm. to OSGP 2015). The exact locality where the individual was captured is unknown, but it was certainly caught within the Dept. in the vicinity of Lékédi Park. New Prov. record. The species is uncommon in Gabon and known from only two protected areas in the country ( Pauwels et al. 2016a; Pauwels 2017).
