Chalarodon madagascariensis is a species of Malagasy terrestrial iguanian lizard native to western, southern, and south eastern Madagascar.[1] Until 2015, it was thought to be the only member of its genus, but a second species, C. steinkampi was recognised in 2015.[2] It is not yet clear if the distributional range of these two species overlaps.
