Stenocercus fimbriatus, the western leaf lizard, is a species of lizard in the Tropiduridae family.[1][3] It is found in the eastern Amazon Basin in Peru, Brazil, and Bolivia.[1]
Stenocercus fimbriatus has cryptic coloration that gives it resemblance of a dead leave. Males grow to 72 mm (2.8 in) and females to 87 mm (3.4 in) in snout–vent length (SVL). The tail is 1.6–2.2 times SVL.[2] It is oviparous.[3]
