Paralaudakia himalayana
Range
Central and South Asia: north-east Afghanistan, northern Pakistan, Kashmir and Ladakh, Nepal, Xinjiang and Central Asia
The Himalayan agama is an agamid lizard found in Central and South Asia. The head is much depressed, with the snout slightly longer than the diameter of the eye, smooth upper head scales, and small closely set spiny scales on the head near the ear and on the neck. The ear is entirely exposed and larger than the eye opening (Wikipedia, general species account).
The type locality is Leh and Kargil in Ladakh. The Reptile Database lists Jammu and Kashmir for India, with north-east Afghanistan, northern Pakistan, Xinjiang and Tibet in China, Turkmenistan and western Tajikistan. The account used here gives no information on its diet or breeding.
