Ambilobe vs Ambanja

Can anyone describe the differences between these two awesome panther chameleon types? I have seen pictures of certain chameleons that look like they could fit either group. What characteristics separates these great looking chams?

Ambanjas are typically deeper colors while Ambilobes are screamers. An Ambanja's blue bars would be like navy blue while an Ambilobe's blues would be very bright and neon. The same goes for reds. Ambanjas have more burgandy, while Ambilobe would have fire engine. Yellow is a color you don't see in Ambanjas, save around the face, while Ambilobes can have it as a background color. Ambanjas also have longer rostral processes and can be a bit on the smaller side compared to Ambilobes, in my experience.
