The genus Tropidurus contains 21 species (Frost et al. 2001) distributed throughout most continental South America east of the Andes (Rodrigues 1987; Frost et al. 2001). Tropidurus torquatus is a medium lizard with strongly imbricate scales, a fold with two shallow mite bags in lateral of neck, and a wide and robust head (Rodrigues 1987). It typically occurs in open areas and has one of the widest distributions of the genus, from central Brazil to northern Argentina (Rodrigues 1987).
