Lophognathus is a genus of lizards found in northern Australia, New Guinea, and Tanimbar Islands. The four species are informally described as dragons, as are several genera in the family Agamidae, and closely related to those of Amphibolurus. Lophognathus species are slender, slightly compressed, agamid lizards that are often found in trees. They occur in a variety of habitat, including sand dunes and arid regions, but frequently near watercourses. Two species are endemic to Australia, Lophognathus gilberti and L. longirostris, L. temporalis is also found in New Guinea.

  • Lophognathus is a genus of lizards found in northern Australia, New Guinea, and Tanimbar Islands. The four species are informally described as dragons, as are several genera in the family Agamidae, and closely related to those of Amphibolurus. Lophognathus species are slender, slightly compressed, agamid lizards that are often found in trees. They occur in a variety of habitat, including sand dunes and arid regions, but frequently near watercourses. Two species are endemic to Australia, Lophognathus gilberti and L. longirostris, L. temporalis is also found in New Guinea. The type locality of Lophognathus maculilabris was given as the Timor Laut Islands. The first description was by John Edward Gray in 1842. The species he described was named after John Gilbert (naturalist), the collector of the type specimens.
