DiagnosisDiagnosis: “Eine mittelgroße Agame mit einer KRL von < 145 mm und einem mehr als doppelt so langen Schwanz. Sie erinnert mit den – insbesondere bei Männchen – sehr großen Schuppenplatten am Kopf, dem sichtbaren Tympanum und ihren Kämmen auf dem Kehlsack, Nacken sowie Rücken an die Australische Winkelkopfagame Lophosaurus boydii (Macleay, 1884). In Verbindung mit einer relativ gleichmäßigen, Calotes-artigen Körperbeschuppung unterscheidet sich diese Art von allen anderen Agamen.” (MANTHEY & DENZER 2019: 4)
