'''''Kinyongia''''' (derived from the group's name in [[Kiswahili language]]) |
'''''Kinyongia''''' (derived from the group's name in [[Kiswahili language]]) is a [[genus]] of [[chameleon]]s found in montane and sub-montane areas in [[Kenya]], [[Tanzania]], [[Uganda]], [[Rwanda]], [[Burundi]], and far eastern [[DR Congo]]. They are restricted to forests, woodlands and other wooded habitats, and many species have very small geographic ranges.

Kinyongia (derived from the group's name in Kiswahili language) is a genus of chameleons found in montane and sub-montane areas in Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, and far eastern DR Congo. They are restricted to forests, woodlands and other wooded habitats, and many species have very small geographic ranges. In most species, at least the males have horns or knobs on their noses.[1][2] As typical of most chameleons, Kinyongia are oviparous.[3]
They were initially placed in the genus Chamaeleo and by some authorities subsequently transferred into Bradypodion, but in 2006 they were moved to their own genus, Kinyongia.[1][4][5][6]
