Description
Draco dussumieri Duméril & Bibron, 1837: 456
Syntype: RMNH. RENA.2954, Malabar, coll. Dussumier
Type locality: “Bengale et cote de Malabar”, restricted to Malabar by Smith (1935)
Remarks: Musters (1983: 23) argued that a specimen in the Leiden collection (RMNH.RENA.2954) was also collected by Dussumier in Malabar and that it should be considered as a third syntype. The remaining syntypes are deposited in Paris under MNHN-RA 2590 (2048) Ag 5, Bengale; MNHN-RA 6909 (2049) Ag 5/1, Bengale, Dussumier.
The Naturalis specimen was not listed in Uetz et al. (2019). The restriction of the type locality by Smith (1935) is technically invalid as no lectotype was designated.
