The West Usambara two-horned chameleon (Kinyongia multituberculata) is a chameleon endemic to the West Usambara Mountains of Tanzania.[1] Until 2008, it was generally confused with Fischer's chameleon (K. fischeri), which is not found in the Usambara Mountains.[2] Another related species, K. vosseleri, occurs in the same range as K. multituberculata, while K. matschiei is restricted to the East Usambaras.[2]
