Calumma is a genus of chameleon endemic and restricted to the island of Madagascar, some 400 kilometres off of the coast of southeastern Africa in the western Indian Ocean. The genus includes one of the heaviest and longest chameleon species, Parson’s chameleon. One species, formerly known as Calumma tigris, was later transferred to the genus Archaius by Townsend et al., upon the discovery of its closer relation to Rieppeleon—one of several genera referred to collectively as “leaf” or “pygmy” chameleons—rather than to Calumma. The earliest known fossil of the genus is of Calumma benovskyi, from early Miocene Kenya, showing that the genus likely originated on mainland East Africa.
