It was next described by Angel in 1942 as <i>Chamaeleo balteus</i>. Werner in 1911: 27 later described it under <i>Chamaeleon bifidus</i>, and then it was described as <i>Chamaeleo bifidus</i> fifty-five years later in Mertens 1966.<sup id="cite_ref-reptarium1_2-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-reptarium1-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Brygoo and Domergue described it as <i>Chamaeleo balteatus</i> in 1969, and then Brygoo described it under the same name in 1971 and 1978.

Klaver and Böhme described it as this in 1986, and it was later described under the same name by Glaw and Vences in 1994. <i>Furcifer balteatus</i> was most recently described by Necas in 1999 as
