| Comment | Synonymy: after Shaney et al. 2020. Acanthosaura schneideri was synonymized with D. boulengeri by Manthey & Grossmann 1997, but Harvey et al. 2017 considered it as a valid species. Shaney et al. 2020 formally revalidated D. schneideri. Distribution: see map in Shaney et al 2020: 130 (Fig. 1). |
| Etymology | The name “schneideri” honors Gustav Schneider (17 January 1867–14 April 1948). |
