Pedioplanis undata, known commonly as the plain sand lizard or the western sand lizard, is a species of lizard in the family Lacertidae. The species is endemic to Southern Africa.
P. undata is found in southern Namibia [1] [2] and in South Africa (northwestern Cape Province). [2]
P. undata is a small and slender species, closely resembling P. namaquensis . However, the lower eyelid of P. undata has a "window" formed by 2–4 semitransparent large scales. Adults of P. undata have a snout-to-vent length (SVL) of 4.5–5 cm (1.8–2.0 in), and the tail is very long, nearly three times SVL. [3]
P. undata is oviparous. [2] Each hatchling has a total length (including tail) of 5.5–7.5 cm (2.2–3.0 in). [3]
