The green fan-throated lizard is an agamid lizard found in Bangladesh, China (Tibet), India and Myanmar, and possibly Bhutan. In India it is recorded from Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Tripura, the Khasi Hills and Mizoram (Wikipedia, general species account).
It is the type species of its genus. The type locality, given as Calcutta, is an error; later authors give it as Margherita in the Patkai Mountains of Upper Assam. The account used here gives no information on its appearance or habits.
