Figure 3

(a) Female B. bulabula sp. nov. from Kadavu Island, Fiji; photo by Peter Harlow. (b) Male B. bulabula sp. nov. from Kadavu Island, Fiji; photo by Paddy Ryan. Note the sexual dimorphism in colour pattern and diagnostic nuchal stripe, yellow nostril and red eye colour in B. bulabula sp. nov. (c) Male B. fasciatus from Eueiki Island, Tonga, representing the introduced populations that are type location (country) for B. fasciatus; photo by Harold Cogger. (d) Male B. fasciatus from Aiwa Levu Island, Fiji, representing the native populations of this species from the Lau Group Islands; photo by Greg Pregill. Note the diagnostic B. fasciatus features of nuchal spotting, reduced nostril coloration and golden eye colour. (e) Female B. vitiensis from Yadua Taba Island, Fiji. (f) Male B. vitiensis from Yadua Taba Island, Fiji. Both photos by Suzanne Morrison. Brachylophus vitiensis is highly variable in coloration and pattern. Note the prominent crest that is both larger and darker than B. bulabula or B. fasciatus, lack of colour pattern dimorphism, the nuchal stripe that it shares with B. bulabula and the increased yellow nasal coloration and golden eye colour.
