Pseudocordylus microlepidotus, or the Cape crag lizard, is a species of lizard native to shrublands and grasslands of South Africa.[1] Three subspecies have been named: Pseudocordylus microlepidotus microlepidotus, Pseudocordylus microlepidotus fasciatus, and Pseudocordylus microlepidotus namaquensis.[2] The species' gestation type is ovoviviparous. The species is protected under Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES).[3] DescriptionThe two sexes are similar in size; however, males have larger heads and develop more glands than females.[4] The sexes begin to differentiate before sexual maturity.
