Leiocephalus psammodromus

Leiocephalus psammodromus, commonly known as the Turks & Caicos curlytail and the Bastion Cay curlytail lizard, is a species of lizard in the family Leiocephalidae (curly-tailed lizards).

[2] The species is native to the Turks and Caicos Islands in the Caribbean Sea.

[3] The species L. psammodromus was assessed as vulnerable by the IUCN in 2015 due to a sharply declining population threatened by habitat loss and invasive species.

[1] 2008 surveys on South Caicos, Salt Cay, Cotton Cay, or Grand Turk, did not report any individual of this species, as a result it is considered potentially extinct on these islands.
