Ichnotropis microlepidota is a species of African lizard in the family Lacertidae.

[1][3] I. microlepidota is a terrestrial lizard and was first discovered at the foot of Mount Moco.

[1][3] I. microlepidota is a medium-sized lizard with a slender body, long tail, and well developed legs.

[4] Most of the specimens found are less than 52 mm (2.0 in) long in snout–to-vent length (SVL) and share the common characteristics of the genus Ichnotropis: [4] I. microlepidota is similar to Ichnotropis bivittata except I. microlepidota has a wider body.

Based on morphological evidence, the South African genus Ichnotropis and the North American genus Psammodromus diverged from the lineage of Lacerta lepida and Lacerta monticola during the Oligocene epoch (24 to 36 million years ago).
