A taxonomic revision of the flying lizards (Iguania : Agamidae : Draco) ofthe Philippine Islands, with a description of a new species

Ten species of Draco are recognized in the Philippines including one descri bed as new. For each species, a diagnosis, description of squamation and co lor pattern, and summaries of distribution and natural history are provided . Keys to the Draco of the Philippines are also provided. The geographic di stributions of Philippine Draco species are largely concordant with aggrega te island complexes formed when sea levels were lower in the late Pleistoce ne. The biogeography of Palawan Island is considered in the context of Drac o and found to be inconsistent with the standard model treating Palawan as an extension of the Greater Sunda Shelf.
