All except K. adolfifriderici and K. tavetana are restricted to highlands, and many have very small geographic ranges. In most, at least the males have horns or knobs on their noses. They had been placed into the genus Bradypodion for some time.[2][3] It has recently been pointed out that the ending to the specific epithet in several of the below listed species should be modified to match the feminine genus name.[4] SpeciesThe following 23 species are recognized as being valid.[5]
Nota bene: A binomial authority in parentheses indicates that the species was originally described in a genus other than Kinyongia.
