Bronchocela hayeki, also known commonly as the Sumatra bloodsucker, is a species of lizard in the family Agamidae. The species is endemic to Indonesia. [2]
B. hayeki is named after the Austrian-German painter Hans von Hayek, who spent many years in Indonesia and Ceylon during World War I. [3]
The preferred natural habitat of B. hayeki is forest, at altitudes of 300–1,400 m (980–4,590 ft), but it has also been found in disturbed areas such as plantations, gardens, and villages with shrubs and trees. [1]
B. hayeki is bright green dorsally, and lighter green ventrally. The lips, the area around the eye, and the typanum (ear drum) are brownish black. Males may attain a snout-to-vent length (SVL) of 12 cm (4.7 in). Females are smaller, with a maximum recorded SVL of 9.4 cm (3.7 in). The tail is very long, as much as 41 cm (16 in). [2]
