CommentThe original type locality was “India”, in error.

This is one of only 2 Draco species in which females have more colorful patagial coloration than males (i.e. the color of the membranes that covers the elongated ribs). 
EtymologyNamed after the Latin quinque (five) and Latin fascia = band, after the five bands on the patagium of this species.
