Laudakia Nupta
''Laudakia nupta'' is a species of lizard from Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. It was described in 1843. There are two subspecies, ''Laudakia nupta nupta'' and ''Laudakia nupta fusca''. Taxonomy ''L. nupta'' was described by Filippo De Filippi in 1843. Its taxonomy has been moved many times, having previously been classified under the genera ''Agama'' and '' Stellio''. The current scientific name comes from the past participle of the Latin verb ''nūbo'', meaning to cover or veil. The meaning shifted over time, coming to mean a bride that covers herself for the groom. The bride's crown is a reference to the lizard's crown-like crest. ''Laudakia nupta nupta'' is commonly known as large-scaled agama or large-scaled rock agama, and ''Laudakia nupta fusca'' is commonly known as yellow-headed rock agama. Description ''L. nupta'' is a large sized lizard with a heavy head and nostrils on the canthus rostralis. The body is moderately depressed, and there are vertebral enla ...
