FIGURE 4 in Taxonomy of the Rhampholeon boulengeri Complex (Sauria: Chamaeleonidae): Five New Species from Central Africa's Albertine Rift

FIGURE 4. Box plots showing variation in external traits of the Rhampholeon boulengeri complex from the Albertine Rift, Central Africa. Sample sizes for each species are denoted in the bottom right quarter. Males and females are separated to show degree of sexual-size dimorphism across members of the complex. All measurements are in mm. Plots show the median, 1st and 3rd quartiles, minimum and maximum inter-quartile ranges, and outliers. Refer to text for description of the linear measurements.

FIGURE 3. Elevational zonation of the Rhampholeon boulengeri complex from the Albertine Rift, Central Africa. Each colorcoded circle corresponds to an individual specimen. The top panel shows the elevational distribution by species and the lower panel is grouped by specific localities. The number enclosed in the larger circle indicates the number of specimens from the same elevation.

FIGURE 2 in Taxonomy of the Rhampholeon boulengeri Complex (Sauria: Chamaeleonidae): Five New Species from Central Africa's Albertine Rift

FIGURE 2. Map of the Albertine Rift, Central Africa, showing sampling localities for specimens of the Rhampholeon boulengeri complex examined in this study. For clarity, we show color-coded circles that indicate the number of specimens examined from that general locality. Underlined numbers indicate that a specimen from that area also included genetic data analyzed in Hughes et al. (2018). Two specimens (UTEP 21704–21705) from DRC not shown (see text for details). For a detailed map of localities representing R. boulengeri (sensu lato) see Tilbury (2018). The color scheme corresponds to clades of the species complex and is retained throughout all figures: Green = Rhampholeon sp. Itombwe (R. boulengeri); pink = Rhampholeon sp. 1 (R. plumptrei sp. nov.); blue = Rhampholeon sp. 2 (R. nalubaale sp. nov.); yellow = Rhampholeon sp. 3 (R. bombayi sp. nov.); purple = Rhampholeon sp. 4 (R. msitugrabensis sp. nov.); red = Rhampholeon sp. 5 (R. monteslunae sp. nov.).

Fig. 108 in Pholcid spiders from the Lower Guinean region of Central Africa: an overview, with descriptions of seven new species (Araneae, Pholcidae)

Fig. 108. Pholcid genera represented by endemic species (total numbers of endemic species in parentheses) in each region (West, Central, and EastAfrica), illustrating the distinctness of EastAfrica as compared to West and Central Africa. Data on East and West Africa from Huber & Warui (2012) and Huber & Kwapong (2013), respectively. White: genera that are not represented by more than four endemic species in any of the three regions.

Country abbreviations: CAR = Central African Republic, DRC = Democratic Republic of Congo, KZN = KwaZulu-Natal Province, South Africa, RoC = Republic of Congo. Mitochondrial candidate species (CS) are shown in the same colours as in Figures 2–4. For specimen information see Appendix 1.

FIGURE 4. Ordination of individual specimens and OTU centroids of four of the mitochondrially defined candidate species of the N. melanoleuca complex along the first two canonical variates. CS5-peroescobari was omitted due to the small available sample size. Canonical variates 1 and 2 account for 57.9 and 22.8% of total variance, respectively. Enlarged symbols indicate OTU centroids.
