Species:
Ceratophora karu
Synonyms:
Ceratophora karu PETHIYAGODA & MANAMENDRA-ARACHCHI 1998
Subspecies:
Family:
Agamidae, Sauria (lizards)
Distribution:
Sri Lanka (Ceylon)
Comment:
C. karu is ground-dwelling and the only fast-moving lizard containing a rostrum composed of numerous pointed scales. The rostrum of C. karu lacks the fleshy protuberence characteristic of horned Ceratophora, however. The ranges of C. erdeleni and C. karu overlap in the Morningside Forest Reserve.

Comment:
subarboreal, has only a rudimentary or nonexistent rostral appendage and is
otherwise very similar morphologically to C. stoddartii. The ranges of C. erdeleni and C. karu overlap in the Morningside Forest Reserve.
