Amphibolurus is a genus of lizards in the family Agamidae. The genus is endemic to Australia.
==Description== Characteristics of the genus Amphibolurus include: Moderate size [snout–vent length ] Long limbs and long tail One to five crests consisting of enlarged, sometimes spinose scales (one nuchal and vertebral crest, sometime one or two dorsal crests on each side) Tympanum exposed One to 11 femoral pores and one to three preanal pores on each side Pattern usually includes three broad pale dorsal stripes and some blotches on a usually brown ground coloration Different from the similar species Lophognathus and Gowidon due to more heterogeneous arrangement of scales. They also differ from Gowidon due to more dorsal rows of enlarged, spinose scales.
