Bronchocela
Kaup, 1827:
Bronchocela J.
J. Kaup. 1827. Isis von Oken: 619. (type species:
Agama cristatella Kuhl, 1820, by
original designation.)
Derivation:
Greek for swollen throat, in allusion to the distinct gular pouch of males.
Remarks:
Revived from the synonymy of Calotes
Cuvier, “1817” 1816 by Moody
(1980), in an unpublished thesis, which has been followed by several authors
(e.g., Diong and Lim, 1998; Manthey and Grossmann, 1997: 160).
