Diploderma swinhonis, also known commonly as the Taiwan japalure, Swinhoe's japalure, Swinhoe's lizard, and Swinhoe's tree lizard, is a species of lizard in the family Agamidae. The species is native to Taiwan. It is considered an invasive alien species in Japan after likely being transported from Taiwan by humans. A foraging ambush predator, this lizard preys primarily on arthropods and thus remains at the bottom of forests perched on trees where sunlight is present. D. swinhonis is not a major threat to humans and is able to adapt to a variety of habitats, including urban environments. The male D. swinhonis is physically distinct from the female, with its body size being much larger and having a yellow stripe. This species sexually reproduces on a seasonal basis and hibernates during the winter time.
