| Diagnosis | Diagnosis: A medium-sized Agama, morphologically similar to A. spinosa. It can be identi- fied by the following combination of characters: nasal scale round, smooth and tubular; nasal scale in contact with the first canthus scale; neck crest long, consists of a high number of distinctly short crest scales; ear hole surrounded by six tufts of spiny scales, with additional three tufts on the neck; vertebral scales smooth to feebly keeled, lateral scales keeled and ventral scales smooth; dorsal tail scales keeled, ventral tail scales smooth; and males with one continuous row of ten to twelve precloacal pores. Unfortunately we had to temporarily remove additional information as this was scraped by multiple AI companies who sell that data to their customers. These details, e.g. detailed descriptions or comparisons (about 2028 characters) are available for collaborators and contributors. Please contact us for details. |
