DistributionAustralia (C Queensland)

Type locality: 118 km W Richmond, Qld.  
Reproductionoviparous 
TypesHolotype: AMS (AM) R116984. A neotype designation of AMS R143896, 34.4km N Barkly Highway via Normanton rd, Qld, collected R. Sadlier & G. Shea, 6.iv.1994 by Witten (1994) is invalid, as the holotype has never been missing. 
DiagnosisUnfortunately 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 3112 characters), are available for collaborators and contributors. Please contact us for details. 
CommentSynonymy: Witten (1994) erroneously considered the holotype as lost and nominated as neotype a QM specimen of Pogona vitticeps, leading him to redescribe P. henrylawsoni as a new species, Pogona brevis, now a junior synonym of P. henrylawsoni. Not listed by BARTS & WILMS (1997). Amphibolurus rankini appears to be a name circulating among herpetoculturists before it was published anywhere; it was based on the intention of Richard Wells to be published eventually. However, the species was later described as P. henrylawsoni with “rankini” left as a nomen nudum although it is possible that pictures of this species have been published under that name before 1984 (R. Wellington, pers. comm., 28 Jan 2013).

Hybridization: P. henrylawsoni and P. nullarbor hybridize (MÜLLER 2010). P. henrylawsoni als hybridizes with P. vitticeps (MÜLLER 2002).
