picture info	Uracentron Flaviceps ''Uracentron flaviceps'', the tropical thornytail iguana or Amazon thornytail iguana is an elusive species of medium-sized arboreal lizard found in the tropical lowlands of the Amazon Rainforest. The species was described by French zoologist Alphone Guichenot in 1855.http://reptile-database.reptarium.cz/species.php?genus=Uracentron&species=flaviceps, The Reptile Database - Uracentron Flaviceps They are considered to be ant specialists and exhibit communal nesting and a harem-style breeding system in which one male mates with and attends to multiple females. Study of this species has been impeded by difficulties collecting and observing them. Taxonomy The species was originally named ''Doryphorus flaviceps'' by Guichenot in 1855. Since its original identification, the species has undergone a number of taxonomic changes. In 1881, it was renamed ''Uranocentrum flaviceps'' by O'Shaughnessy. This change did not last very long and the name was changed to ''Urocentron castor'' in 1885 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]

	Tropiduridae The Tropiduridae are a family of iguanid lizards."Tropiduridae". The Reptile Database. www.reptile-database.org. The family is sometimes considered a subfamily, Tropidurinae. The subfamily is native to South America, including the islands of Trinidad and the Galápagos. Commonly known as neotropical ground lizards, most are ground-dwelling animals, and the subfamily includes some lizards adapted to relatively cold climates, including those of the Andes mountains and Tierra del Fuego. Several species give birth to live young. A 2021 study described a novel escutcheon-type generation gland ('α-gland') in tropidurines, found in at least 39 species. This gland is believed to be the main potential source of semiochemicals in this group indicating its importance in chemical signalling, an essential component of the communication system of lizards. Genera The family Tropiduridae contains the following eight genera. '' Eurolophosaurus'' ''Microlophus'' – lava lizards and Pacif ...
