''Kinyongia'' (derived from the species' name in Kiswahili language)〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Some Important Changes in the Systematics of Bradypodion. Kinyongia is derived from the species name in Kiswahili language )〕 is a chameleon genus recently established for several plesiomorphic species found in forest and woodland in Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda, and far eastern DR Congo. All except ''K. adolfifriderici'' and ''K. tavetana'' are restricted to highlands and many have very small distributions. In most, at least the males have horns or knobs on their noses. They were erroneously placed into ''Bradypodion'' for some time〔Klaver, C.J.J. & Böhme, W. (1986): Phylogeny and classification of the Chamaeleonidae (Sauria) with special reference to hemipenis morphology. ''Bonner Zoologische Monographien'' 22: 1–64.〕〔Tolley, Krystal A.; Tilbury, Colin R. & Branch, William R.

(PDF fulltext ) 〕 It has recently been pointed out that the ending to the specific epithet in several of the below listed species should be modified to match the feminine genus name.〔Tolley, Krystal A.; Tilbury, Colin R. & Branch, William R.
