Draco quinquefasciatus, Gray. 



This beautiful lizard was described in 1827 from a single 

 male specimen from Penang. A second specimen, likewise 

 a male, from the same locality, was recorded by Stoliczka in 

 1873. The British Museum has now received a female 

 specimen obtained on Mount Dulit, Borneo, by Mr. C. Hose.

 recently distinguished from Peters's A. fusca.
