Calotes manamendrai (Manamendra-Arachchi’s whistling lizard) is an agamid lizard endemic to Sri Lanka.[2] Locally known as මනමේන්ද්ර-ආරච්චිගේ උරුවන් කටුස්සා (Manamendra-Arachchigë Uruwan Katussa).
Description
Manamendra-Arachchi’s whistling lizard was the last recorded lizard species from the island. Researchers named the new lizard "Manamendra-Arachchi’s whistling lizard" as an honor to the herpetologist and taxonomist Kelum Manamendra-Arachchi for his remarkable contributions to the biodiversity and zooarchaeology of Sri Lanka for more than three decades.[2]
