Calotes htunwini Zug and Vindum, 2007

Taxonomic comments.

We did not include this species in our analyses; however, the species is distinct from members of the C. versicolor group due to the horizontal orientation of the scale rows of the neck and the supra-axillary region. The species occurs throughout the lower elevations of Myanmar’s Central Dry Zone ( Zug et al. 2007).
