“…General distribution and status: C. gracilis is widespread in the sub-Saharan savannah belt, and its range reaches across Africa from Somalia in the east to Senegal in the west (Spawls and Rotich, 1997;Djeukam, 2007), and Sudan in the north (Townsend and Larson, 2002;Aurioles-Gamboa et al, 2010). C. g. gracilis is the more widespread of the two subspecies, (Figure 3), whereas C. g. etiennei is limited to the west coast of central Africa, including Angola, Gabon, Republic of Congo and DR Congo .…”

Interpretation and implementation of the ConventionCompliance and enforcement Review of Significant Trade in specimens of Appendix-II species [Resolution Conf. 12.8 (Rev. CoP13)] SPECIES SELECTED FOLLOWING COP151. This document has been prepared by the Secretariat. 3. At its 26th meeting (AC26, Geneva, 2012), the Committee reviewed the available information on these taxa in accordance with paragraph f) of Resolution Conf. 12.8 (Rev. CoP13). In instances where the Committee was satisfied that Article IV, paragraph 2 (a), 3 or 6 (a), was correctly implemented, it eliminated the species from the review with respect to the range State concerned, and these range States were notified accordingly by the Secretariat (see document AC26 Doc.12.3 and the summary record of AC26). At its 25th meeting (AC25,Geneva4. At AC26, the Committee also agreed that prior to the compilation of information called for in paragraph g), range States that had been kept in the process due to a lack of response but where no commercial trade had been recorded over the most recent 10 years, would be removed from the process in consultation with the Animals Committee. The taxa and range States that were thus retained in the review are shown in the table below. Taxa selected following CoP15 and retained in the review after AC26 Taxon selected Range StateMacaca fascicularis Cambodia; India, Indonesia, Lao People's Democratic Republic, Mauritius, Palau, Philippines, Viet Nam Psittacus erithacusBenin, Central African Republic, Ghana, Nigeria, Togo, Uganda Chamaeleo gracilisBenin, Cameroon, Ghana, Guinea, Togo, Uganda Chamaeleo senegalensisBenin, Ghana, Guinea, Mali, Senegal, Sierra Leone Trioceros melleri Mozambique Trioceros quadricornisCameroon, Nigeria Trachyphyllia geoffroyi Singapore, Solomon Islands 5. In accordance with paragraph g) of the Resolution, the Secretariat proceeded with the compilation of information regarding the species mentioned in the table above. The UNEP World Conservation Monitoring Centre (UNEP-WCMC) was engaged to compile information about the biology and management of and trade in these species, and to provide a preliminary categorization of the species in compliance with paragraphs h) and i). The Secretariat transmitted the resulting reports from UNEP-WCMC to relevant range States on 13 and 19 December 2013, which had 60 days to submit comments in accordance with paragraph j). Kinyongia fischeri United Republic of Tanzania Kinyongia tavetana United Republic of Tanzania Ptyas mucosus6. The species reports of UNEP-WCMC present conclusions about the effects of international trade on the selected species, the basis on which such conclusions are made, and problems with the implementation of Article IV of the Convention. They provide preliminary categorizations of each species into one of the three categories outlined in paragraph i) of Resolution Conf. 12.8 (Rev. CoP13), namely: i) 'species of urgent concern' shall include species for which the available information indicates that the provisions of Article IV, paragraph 2 ...

“…Perret (1975) placed Cameroon species with a sepsinoid morphology in the subgenus Leptosiaphos. About 10 additional species of Leptosiaphos occur in central, eastern, and southern Africa (Laurent, 1982;Spawls and Rotich, 1997;Spawls et al, 2002). LeBreton (1999) compiled a checklist of the herpetofauna of Cameroon and listed 15 species of the genus Panaspis in Cameroon, including L. aloysiisabaudiae (Peracca, 1907), L. duruarum (Monard, 1949; not listed by Perret, 1973), and the two above-mentioned new species described from Cameroon since the revision of Perret (1973).…”

“…In the Adamaoua Massif, Matthew LeBreton collected two specimens of Leptosiaphos, that were morphologically close to L. kilimensis, a species known from the mid to high altitude forests and woodlands of central Kenya and Tanzania (Spawls and Rotich, 1997). After careful examination of the two specimens, several important differences from the latter species were identified.…”

“…The Jackson's Chameleon (Trioceros jacksonii xantholophus) is an arboreal, montane, east African lizard (Spawls and Rotich, 1997) inadvertently introduced to the island of Oahu in 1972 via the pet trade (McKeown, 1996). Jackson's Chameleons were transported within and among multiple Hawaiian Islands until the late 1990s, when off-island transport became illegal.…”
