Trapelus is a genus of Middle Eastern agamid lizards, which contains 13 species. [1]
Listed alphabetically, the species are: [1] [2]
Nota bene : A binomial authority in parentheses indicates that the species was originally described in a genus other than Trapelus.
Agama is a genus of small-to-moderate-sized, long-tailed, insectivorous Old World lizards. The genus Agama includes at least 37 species in Africa, especially sub-Saharan Africa, where most regions are home to at least one species. Eurasian agamids are largely assigned to genus Laudakia. The various species differ in size, ranging from about 12 to 30 centimetres in length, when fully grown.
Bunopus is a genus of small geckos, lizards in the family Gekkonidae. The genus is endemic to the Middle East.
Calotes is a genus of lizards in the draconine clade of the family Agamidae. The genus contains 29 species. Some species are known as forest lizards, others as "bloodsuckers" due to their red heads, and yet others as garden lizards. The genus name Calotes has been derived from the Greek word Καλότης (Kalótës), meaning ‘beauty’, referring to the beautiful pattern of this genus.
Laudakia is a genus of lizards, commonly known as Asian rock agamas, in the family Agamidae. The genus is found mostly in Asia, with some species in Southern Europe.
Phrynocephalus is a genus which includes 33 species of small and medium-sized agamid lizards, commonly called toadhead agamas or toad-headed agamas, that inhabit open arid and semiarid environments of Asia and Eastern Europe. The systematics of this genus are very complicated with many controversial points of view about the unclear phylogeny of this group. All representatives of this genus have adopted the so-called "sit and wait" hunting strategy and they actively use visual orientation when watching for food. In general, the ecological niche and role of Phrynocephalus species in lizard communities of arid environments of Asia are poorly studied, but seem to be similar to that of Phrynosoma, Cophosaurus, Holbrookia, Uta, and Sceloporus in the New World, as well as Moloch in Australia.
Mesalina is a genus of wall lizards of the family Lacertidae.
The brilliant ground agama is a species of agama found in Central, West and South Asia, in Iran, Pakistan, India, Russia, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, China, possibly Iraq, and Afghanistan.
The Agaminae are a subfamily of reptiles in the family Agamidae.
The erg agama, also commonly known as the Sahara agama, is a species of lizard in the family Agamidae. The species is endemic to North Africa.
Paralaudakia is a genus of lizards, commonly known as Asian rock agamas, which are endemic to Eurasia.
Agama finchi, commonly known as Finch's agama, is a small species of lizard in the family Agamidae. The species is native to Central Africa and East Africa. There are two recognized subspecies.
Trapelus boehmei is a species of agama. It is found in at least Mauritania, Morocco, Algeria, and Niger, possibly also in Western Sahara, Mali, and Tunisia. It is named after Wolfgang Böhme, German herpetologist.
Trapelus megalonyx, the Afghan ground agama, is a species of agama found in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iran, and India.
Trapelus mutabilis, the desert agama, is a species of agama found in Morocco, Mauritania, Western Sahara, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Mali, Iraq, Chad, Sudan, and Saudi Arabia.
Trapelus persicus, Olivier's agama or Baluch ground agama, is a species of agama found in Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and Iran.
There are two species of agama named Baluch ground agama:
Trapelus ruderatus, Olivier's agama or Baluch ground agama, is a species of agama found in Azerbaijan, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Iran, and Pakistan.
Trapelus schmitzi, also known as Schmitz' agama, is a species of agama. It is found in Chad and Algeria. It is named after Andreas Schmitz, German herpetologist.
