| Comment | Ctenotus rosarium sp. nov., from the Desert Uplands Bioregion of central Queensland is readily distinguished from its congeners by a combination of head scalation (presubocular single, contacting only the subocular supralabial), subdigital lamellae (narrowly callose) and colour pattern (dorsum immaculate between a pale-edged, black vertebral stripe and narrow, black, laterodorsal stripe). The new species occurs in spinifex-dominated open woodland and prefers high hummock grass cover on sandy soils. Limb morphology: 5 digits, 5 toes (Singhal et al. 2018, Cogger 2014) |
| Etymology | Named after the Latin word for “rosary beads”, alluding to the series of pale blotches along the lateral zone which resembles a string of beads. |
