Leiocephalus psammodromus, commonly known as the Turks & Caicos curlytail or Bastion Cay curlytail lizard , is a species of lizard in the family Leiocephalidae (curly-tailed lizard).[2] It is native to Turks and Caicos Islands in the Caribbean Sea.[3] The species was assessed as vulnerable by the IUCN in 2015 due to a sharply declining population threatened by habitat loss and invasive species.[1] 2008 surveys on South Caicos, Salt Cay, Cotton Cay, or Grand Turk, did not report any individual of this species, as a result it is considered potentially extinct on these islands.[4]
