Calumma   vatosoa    is a Malagasy chameleon species that has until now been known only from the male holotype and a photograph of an additional male specimen. In this paper we describe females of the chameleon    Calumma   vatosoa    for the first time, as well as the skull osteology of this species. The analysed females were collected many years before the description of    C.   vatosoa   , and were originally described as female    C.   linotum   . According to external morphology, osteology, and distribution these specimens are assigned to    C.   vatosoa   . Furthermore we discuss the species group assignment of    C.   vatosoa    and transfer it from the    C.   furcifer    group to the    C.   nasutum    group. A comparison of the external morphology of species of both groups revealed that    C.   vatosoa    has a relatively shorter distance from the anterior margin of the orbit to the snout tip, more heterogeneous scalation at the lower arm, a significantly lower number of supralabial and infralabial scales, and a relatively longer tail than the members of the    C.   furcifer    group. These characters are, however, in line with the species of the    C.   nasutum    group. In addition the systematic position of    C.   peyrierasi    also discussed, based on its morphology.
