The Nilgiri forest lizard is an agamid lizard found in the Western Ghats of India, in the Nilgiri Hills, Anaimalai, Kalakkad Mundanthurai Tiger Reserve, Coorg and Agumbe. The scales on the sides are very large and not keeled, while those on the belly are much smaller and keeled. The crest along the back extends only about a third of the way (Wikipedia, general species account, quoting Günther 1864).

The Reptile Database gives the range as the Nilgiri Hills, the southern Western Ghats and Kerala. The account used here gives no information on size, diet or breeding.
