Tropicagama is a genus of large-bodied lizards in the family Agamidae. The genus is monotypic, with only one species listed: Tropicagama temporalis, commonly known as the swamplands lashtail or northern water dragon.[3] This semi-arboreal species inhabits the tropical savannah woodlands of northern Australia, as well as parts of New Guinea[2] and southeastern Indonesia.[4]
