Relationships among chameleons of the genus Trioceros in Cameroon are reviewed on a molecular basis using mitochondrial genes and by morphology. Trioceros oweni is placed basal to two distinct clades: lowland-submontane species vs. submontane-montane species. Differing relationships to previously published results are observed within the submontane-montane species group, resulting in taxonomic changes: Trioceros eisentrauti is grouped with the two T. quadricornis subspecies as the third subspecies T. quadricornis eisentrauti. Within the wiedersheimi-group, the former southern subspecies is elevated to the species rank, Trioceros perreti, and two additional species have been distinguished by molecular and morphological methods: Trioceros wiedersheimi and Trioceros serratus (Mertens, 1922).
