Bronchocela marmorata, marbled crested lizard, marbled bloodsucker or marbled agamid lizard is a species of lizard. It is endemic to the Philippines, where it inhabits lowland dipterocarp and montane forests at elevations 400 to 800 m above mean sea level.[1] It is typically found on branches and leaves of trees. It feeds on insects and is oviparous, digging the soil to lay its eggs at the base of trees.[2]
