}}Ctenophorus is a genus of lizards, also known as comb-bearing dragons, that contains the most diverse group of dragon lizards in Australia. Many of these have been grouped by a similar morphology. The informal names and groupings within this genus — rock, crevice-, ground, sand-, and bicycle-dragon — are named after the mythological creature, the dragon. Ctenophorus lizards may be confused with the Tympanocryptis and Diporiphora genera.[2] SpeciesThere are 29 recognized species in the genus.[3] - Ctenophorus adelaidensis (Gray, 1841) – western heath dragon

PolymorphismLizards of the genus Ctenophorus are known to display color polymorphism, more than one color type being found within a population. It is believed that color polymorphism in this group has evolved as a result of a combination of sexual selection and natural selection.[4] References{{Commons}}{{Wikispecies}}1. ^"Ctenophorus ".
