CommentSee also Draco lineatus.

Max. SVL 67 mm.

D. modigliani differs from all members of the D. lineatus group in having a strong statistical mode of six ribs supporting the patagium (as opposed to five), a character state that it shares with the D. volans group (MCGUIRE et al. 2007). 
EtymologyNamed after Italian zoologist, Emilio Modigliani (1860–1932).
