Blanford's rock agama

Blanford's rock agama (Psammophilus blanfordanus) is species of lizard in the family Agamidae.

Unlike the other species, the male P. blanfordanus in breeding season has the red body color restricted to the head and lacks the broad dorsal stripe.

When the hind leg is stretched forward and held along the body, it reaches the eye or extends beyond it.

Often, a small spine is found behind the edge of the brow-ridge of the eye, and a few enlarged scales are scattered on the sides.

The southernmost record appears to be Talayar in Travancore, where a specimen was collected by Harold S. Ferguson at 7,000 feet (2,100 m).
