The West Usambara two-horned chameleon or West Usambara blade-horned chameleon (Kinyongia multituberculata) is a species of chameleon endemic to the West Usambara Mountains of Tanzania.[1][2] Until 2008, it was generally confused with Fischer's chameleon (K. fischeri), which is not found in the Usambara Mountains.[3] None of its close relatives occur in the same range as K. multituberculata, but K. matschiei and K. vosseleri are restricted to the East Usambaras.[3]
