}} The Martinique curly-tailed lizard (Leiocephalus herminieri ) is an extinct species of lizard in the family of curly-tailed lizards (Leiocephalidae). EtymologyThe specific name, herminieri, commemorates French naturalist Félix Louis L'Herminier.[2] Extant specimensThere are five museum specimens of L. herminieri, of which three are deposited in Paris, one in London, and the other in Leiden. Geographic rangeThough Martinique is assumed as the geographic range of L. herminieri, there was some confusion about the type locality in the past. While André Marie Constant Duméril and Gabriel Bibron stated Martinique and Trinidad and Tobago as type locality, George Albert Boulenger has given only Trinidad and Tobago as terra typica.{{citation needed|date=September 2015}} Biology and extinctionThe biology of L. herminieri, the reasons for its extinction, and the date of extinction are unknown. This species was last collected in the 1830s. DescriptionOf the three specimens of L. herminieri in Paris, the largest female is measured at {{convert|139|mm|in|abbr=on}} snout-to-vent length (SVL), and the largest male at {{convert|126|mm|in|abbr =on}} SVL. The large head scales are more or less distinctly striate. The large dorsal scales are keeled and forming continuous oblique series. The smaller lateral and ventral scales are keeled too. The back is greenish brown with or without irregular yellowish crossbands. The head is yellowish with four or five black bars on the sides. The venter is yellowish. The throat has oblique black transverse bands.
