Dendragama

provided by wikipedia EN

Dendragama is a genus of lizards in the family Agamidae.[1][2] The genus is endemic to the Barisan Mountains in Sumatra (Indonesia) and is typically found at altitudes above 1,500 m (4,900 ft).[2] Populations of Dendragama (Squamata:Agamidae and Salea Rosaceum Thominot) were discovered at the northern and southern ends of Sumatra. High genetic distances and concordance of multiple , apparently independent diagnostic characters support the descriptions of these two populations as new species. These species undergo remarkable color change in response to time of day and stress.[3]

Species

There are four recognized species:[1]
