A single male specimen obtained in the Larut Hills by 

 Mr. A. L. Butler at an altitude of 3000 feet. I have also 

 examined a male from Sarawak, collected by the late Mr. A. 

 Everett, which I had referred to D. cristatellus . 



Draco formosus. 



Head small ; snout slightly longer than the diameter of the 

 orbit; nostril directed upwards, perfectly vertical ; tympanum 

 naked, smaller than the eye-opening ; upper head-scales 

 unequal, keeled ; a prominent tubercle at the posterior corner 

 of the orbit ; nine or ten upper labials. The male's gular 

 appendage as long as the head, very thin, translucid, covered 

 with very large scales. No nuchal fold. Dorsal scales 

 equal, very feebly keeled, not larger than ventrals ; a few 

 widely separated enlarged scales on the side of the back. 

 The fore limb stretched forwards extends considerably 

 beyond the tip of the snout ; the adpressed hind limb reaches 

 the axil. Brown above (in life), head greyer, with a few 

 dark spots ; wing-membranes olive above, edged with maroon 

 or crimson, with five more or less regular black transverse 

 bands, uncoloured beneath ; throat of male, under the lappets 

 and right to the base of the gular appendage, maroon or 

 crimson, of female dark green.
