Brookesia
Brookesia is a genus of chameleons, lizards in the family Chamaeleonidae. The genus is endemic to Madagascar. Member species range from small to very small in size, and are known collectively as leaf chameleons (though this common name is also used for species in the genera Rieppeleon and Rhampholeon). Brookesia includes species considered to be the world's smallest chameleons, and are also among the smallest reptiles. Members of the genus Brookesia are largely brown, and most are essentially terrestrial.

種 見內文 變色龍屬（Brookesia），又名枯葉變色龍屬，是分佈在馬達加斯加的一屬變色龍。牠們的體型可以由細小至非常細小。其屬下包含了全世界最細小的變色龍。牠們主要呈褐色，很多都是陸生的。大部份的物種都只是在過往的30年內發現，有些甚至未被命名學名。牠們的分佈地細小，都是很難涉足的地方，故對牠們的認識較少。 大部份變色龍屬都被列在《瀕危野生動植物種國際貿易公約》附錄二內，即進口任何一種都要先得到許可，而殘肢變色龍則是在附錄一中受到保護。 物種 變色龍屬共有26個物種，分別如下： B. ambreensis B. antakarana B. bekolosy B. betschi B. bonsi 拜高變色龍（B. brygooi） 捲曲枯葉變色龍（B. decaryi ） B. dentata 埃本諾伊姬避役（B. ebenaui） B. exarmata 格利維蒂姬避役（B. griveaudi ） B. karchei B. lambertoni B. lineata B. lolontany 枯葉變色龍（B. minima） 蘇珊枯葉變色龍（B. nasus） 殘肢變色龍（B. perarmata） 盔甲枯葉變色龍（B. peyrierasi） 角枯葉變色龍（B. stumpffi） 薩佩西里亞里斯姬避役（B. superciliaris） B. therezieni 蒂里姬避役（B. thieli） B. tuberculata B. vadoni B. valerieae 參考 维基共享资源中相关的多媒体资源：變色龍屬 CITES: Appendices I, II and III.

Brookesia is a genus of chameleons, lizards in the family Chamaeleonidae. The genus is endemic to Madagascar. Member species range from small to very small in size, and are known collectively as leaf chameleons (though this common name is also used for species in the genera Rieppeleon and Rhampholeon). Brookesia includes species considered to be the world's smallest chameleons, and are also among the smallest reptiles. Members of the genus Brookesia are largely brown, and most are essentially terrestrial.
A significant percentage of the species in the genus were only identified to science within the last three decades, and a number of species that still have not received a scientific name are known to exist. Most inhabit very small ranges in areas that are difficult to access, and due to their small size and secretive nature, they have been relatively poorly studied compared to their larger relatives.
