Boyd's forest dragon
Boyd's forest dragon (''Hypsilurus boydii'' ) is a species of arboreal agamid lizard found in rainforests and their margins in the Wet Tropics region of northern Queensland, Australia. It is the larger of the two species of ''Hypsilurus'' found in Australia. The other species, the southern angle-headed dragon, ''H. spinipes'', is found in southern Queensland and northern New South Wales.
==Etymology==
The generic name ''Hypsilurus'' comes from "upsilon-tail". Upsilon ("ϒ") is the Greek letter on which the English uppercase "Y" is based. The specific name, ''boydii'', is a reference to English-born John Archibald Boyd (1846–1926), who lived in Fiji from 1865 to 1882 and then on a sugar plantation at Ingham, Queensland, and collected specimens for the Australian Museum. The binomial authority is William John Macleay, who provided the original description of the species in 1884.〔Beolens, Bo; Watkins, Michael; Grayson, Michael. ''The Eponym Dictionary of Reptiles''. Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University Press. xiii + 296 pp. ISBN 978-1-4214-0135-5. (''Hypsilurus boydii'', p. 36).〕
