A new species of chameleon, Trioceros wolfgangboehmeisp. nov., inhabiting the northern slopes of the Bale Mountains in Ethiopia, is described. It differs from its Ethiopian congeners by a combination of the following features: presence of a prominent dorsal crest with a low number of enlarged conical scales reaching along the anterior half of the tail as a prominent tail crest, a casque raised above the dorsal crest, heterogeneous body scalation, long canthus parietalis, rugose head scalation, high number of flank scales at midbody and unique hemipenial morphology. Based on morphological characteristics, phylogenetic discordances of previous studies and biogeographical patterns, this new species is assigned to the Trioceros affinis (Rüppell, 1845) species complex. An updated comprehensive key to the Trioceros found in Ethiopia is provided.

来自埃塞俄比亚的Trioceros affinis种复合物的新变色龙（Squamata，Chamaeleonidae）

变色龙的新物种Trioceros wolfgangboehmeisp。11月，描述了居住在埃塞俄比亚Bale山的北坡。它与埃塞俄比亚同类动物的不同之处在于以下特征的组合：显着的背脊存在，少量的圆锥形鳞片作为尾部显着的尾巴沿着尾巴的前半部到达，在背顶上方凸起的小饰面，异质的身体鳞屑，长th壁壁鳞屑，皱纹的头鳞屑，中体侧翼鳞屑数量高以及独特的半椎形态。根据形态学特征，先前研究的系统发育失调和生物地理模式，将此新物种分配为Trioceros affinis（Rüppell，1845）物种群。提供了在埃塞俄比亚发现的Trioceros的更新的综合密钥。
