The Gehring chameleon

I was given a special honor in 2017 when my colleagues David Prötzel, Miguel Vences, Mark D. Scherz, David R. Vieites, and Frank Glaw named a newly discovered chameleon from Madagascar after me: Calumma gehringi.
This small species is found in the middle altitudes of the Tsaratanana Mountains in northern Madagascar. In terms of external morphology Calumma gehringi differs from the closely related C. guibei by an elevated rostral crest, the shape of the notch between the occipital lobes (slightly connected vs. completely separated), presence of a dorsal and caudal crest in males (vs. absence), and a longer rostral appendage in the females.

Prötzel, D., M. Vences, M.D. Scherz, D.R. Vieites & F. Glaw (2017) Splitting and lumping: An integrative taxonomic assessment of Malagasy chameleons in the Calumma guibei complex results in the new species C. gehringi sp. nov. – Vertebrate Zoology 67: 231-249.
