Takydromus
''Takydromus'' is a genus of lizards, commonly called grass lizards or oriental racers. Species of the genus ''Takydromus'' are endemic to a large part of Asia. Members of this genus are noticeable because of their slender appearance and their agile movements. The word ''takydromus'' derives from Greek ταχυδρόμος (''takhudromos''), "fast-running",〔(''Takydromus '' ), A Guide to the lizards of Borneo〕〔(ταχυδρόμος ), Henry George Liddell, Robert Scott, ''A Greek-English Lexicon'', on Perseus〕 from ταχύς (''takhus''), "swift"〔(ταχύς ), Henry George Liddell, Robert Scott, ''A Greek-English Lexicon'', on Perseus〕 + δρόμος (''dromos''), "course, race".〔(δρόμος ), Henry George Liddell, Robert Scott, ''A Greek-English Lexicon'', on Perseus〕 ==Description== Members of this genus are extremely slender in appearance. The tail is about 2 to 5 times as long as the snout-vent length. The basic colour is normally brown, often with lateral stripes and dark spots. The dorsal scales are keeled and large. These keels form continuous longitudinal rows. The toes contain lamellae. The collar may be reduced or completely absent.
