Tympanocryptis pentalineata, also known as five-lined earless dragon, is one of a documented species of a relatively small dragon belonging to the genus Tympanocryptis.[2]
Average length is 5–6 cm (2.0–2.4 in) from snout-to-vent.[2]
Etymologyedit
The species is named for the dorsal colour pattern of the new species, characterised by five longitudinal white stripes extending along the body: one vertebral, two dorso-lateral, and two lateral.[3][2]
Habitatedit
Tympanocryptis pentalineata occurs on flat flood-plains, covered by grasses and low perennial shrubs. It was discovered living in crop-lands and remnant bluegrass grasslands of southeastern Queensland, which is one of the most endangered ecosystems in the state.[2]
