Carpenter's chameleon

Carpenter's chameleon, Kinyongia carpenteri, is a species of chameleons with a distribution limited to the mountain highlands on the border between Uganda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The species name honors the type specimen's collector, Dr. G. D. Hale Carpenter. Originally named in the genus Chamaeleo, the species was moved into the genus Bradypodion prior to its current classification. With the move into the genus Kinyongia, the masculine ending to the specific epithet of this species and others in the genus need to be modified to match the feminine genus name.
