Brygoo, Blanc & Domergue, 1974<\/p>\n

Origin of the species name:<\/h4>\n

\u00c9douard-Raoul Brygoo (later working at the Natural History Museum in Paris, France), Charles Pierre Blanc and Charles Antoine Domergue from the then Institut Pasteur in Antananarivo, Madagascar dedicated the species to their colleague Paul Griveaud. Griveaud was an entomologist and described numerous insect species of Madagascar.<\/p>\n

Distribution:<\/h4>\n

Brookesia griveaudi <\/em>lives in foliage, shrubs and low branching in Northeast Madagascar. Its distribution area builds a long triangle between Antalaha, Sambava, and Maroantsetra and includes the national parks of Marojejy, Anjanaharibe-Sud, and Masoala. During the daytime, you can find it directly in the foliage or short above.<\/p>\n

Appearance & size:<\/h4>\n

With a maximum total length of 11 cm, this species belongs to the larger leaf chameleons. Laterally along the back, it has 9 to 10 tubercles on each side that are continued on the tail. Brookesia griveaudi<\/em> has a well developed pelvic shield, that the otherwise quite similar species Brookesia superciliaris<\/em> does not have. Like the latter, individuals of Brookesia griveaudi<\/em> have big, pointed bony extensions above the eyes. Brookesia stumpffi<\/em>, which has a similar well developed pelvic shield, has in contrast to Brookesia griveaudi<\/em> rounded bony extensions above the eyes. The specimens we found all had brown coloration with a dark stripe along the back, right between the tubercles. But according to literature, this stripe is not always visible in this species.<\/p>\n
