Global conservation status (lUCN): Least Coneem. 
Global distribution: The species as a whole is widely distributed throughout southern and 
eastern Africa, although the limits of its range in some areas are under dispute. There is general 
agreement that the distribution includes the area from Congo east to Tanzania, Kenya, Somalia and 
Ethiopia, and south to South Africa. However, records from Gabon and north and from Uganda 
have been questioned (Chirio and Ineich 2006; Pauwels and Vande weghe 2008), and it may be 
difficult to distinguish this taxon from its near relative C. gracilis, with which it is sympatric in 
parts of Central Africa. 
Ocurrences in Angola (Map 241): 
Chamaeleo dilepis quilensis is widely distrib¬ 
uted across the entire country.
