Laudakia cypriaca, also known as Cyprus rock agama, is a species of agamid lizard. It is endemic to Cyprus.[1][2] It was originally described as a subspecies of Agama stellio (now Laudakia stellio). However, a 2022 revision of Laudakia stellio raised the former Laudakia stellio cypriaca to the full species rank,[1][2] along with Laudakia vulgaris.[2]
