Chalarodon steinkampi

Chalarodon steinkampi is a species of Malagasy terrestrial iguanian lizards.

It was recognised as a new species in 2015,[1] which is probably microendemic to a small area in south eastern Madagascar.

This species is currently only known from two locations: a locality 30 km north of Amboasary, and Esomony.

It is easiest distinguished from C. madagascariensis by its unkeeled gular and ventral scales, which are keeled in the latter species.

[1] Other subtle differences include the mental scale being in contact with four postmentals (rather than 5–8), slightly shorter limbs, and fewer spines in its dorsal crest.
