Enyalius is a genus of lizards in the family Leiosauridae.

The genus is native to Brazil and Uruguay.

[1] Species in the genus Enyalius are mostly insectivorous (meaning they eat insects and other invertebrates), diurnal (active during the day), and arboreal (inhabit trees).

[3] The reproductive timing for the species E. perditus occurs typically in warm and wet seasons and is typically shorter than other species of this genus.

[2] Nota bene: A binomial authority in parentheses indicates that the species was originally described in a genus other than Enyalius.
