Trioceros wolfgangboehmei

Wolfgang Böhme's Ethiopian chameleon can be distinguished from other species in the Trioceros affinis species complex though the following characteristics:^[1]

1. Prominent and well-developed dorsal crest with a low number of pointed and enlarged cone-shaped scales in a single row reaching to the lower half the tail;
2. Top of the casque posteriorly raised above the dorsal crest;
3. Heterogeneous body scalation containing both small standard scales and enlarged plate-like scales;
4. Canthus parietalis formed from 9–12 enlarged scales;
5. Area between lateral and temporal crest and the posterior rim of the orbit consists of wrinkled enlarged scales;
6. 53-59 flank scales at midbody;
7. Short snout-vent length, only up to 66 millimeters;
8. Unique hemipenis morphology: smooth shaft, with four pairs of thick, pointed papillae and two pairs of non-serrated rotulae.

Female and male T. wolfgangboehmei are similar morphologically. Females have slightly shorter snout-vent lengths on average, lower relative tail lengths, and lower head width/length ratios.^[1]

Male and female adult T. wolfgangboehmei are most commonly yellowish, brownish, or bright green.^[1] This color extends generally throughout the body, including on the dorsal crest. Most individuals have a bright white temporal spot posterior to the orbit. A dorso-lateral longitudinal stripe of enlarged, flattened scales may be present as well. This stripe may be continuous, or form a lateral Y-shaped pattern. If present, it is white in males and light orange in females. Some adult individuals may be more beige colored, with reddish stripes around the head. Juvenile specimens are uniformly reddish brown.^[1]
