Tympanocryptis is a genus of Australian lizards in the family Agamidae, commonly known as earless dragons.
==Description== The genus Tympanocryptis has the following characters. The tympanum is hidden (hence the common name earless dragon). The body is depressed, and it is covered dorsally with heterogeneous scales. There is no dorsal crest. There is no gular sac, but a strong transverse gular fold is present. The tail is round in cross section. There is a preanal pore on each side, which sometimes is absent in females. In most species there are no femoral pores, Tympanocryptis tetraporophora being an exception.
