Deskripsi

The presence of Uroplatus alluaudi in NE Madagascar (Besariaka Forest) is here reported. This record enlarges considerably the species’ distribution range, up to now restricted to Montagne d’Ambre. The new specimen fits totally in morphology, colouration and body scalation with specimens from the type locality. Considerations are also provided on its conservation at the light of the updated distribution.
