Uracentron flaviceps
''Uracentron flaviceps'', the tropical thornytail iguana or Amazon thornytail iguana is an elusive species of medium sized arboreal lizard found in the tropical lowlands of the Amazon Rainforest. The species was described by French zoologist Alphone Guichenot in 1855.〔http://reptile-database.reptarium.cz/species.php?genus=Uracentron&species=flaviceps, The Reptile Database - Uracentron Flaviceps〕 They are considered to be ant specialists and exhibit communal nesting and a harem style breeding system in which there is one male to multiple females. Study of this species has been impeded by difficulties collecting and observing the species.
==Taxonomy==
The species was originally named ''Doryphorus flaviceps'' by Guichenot in 1855. Since its original identification, the species has undergone a number of taxonomic changes. In 1881 it was renamed ''Uranocentrum flaviceps'' by O'Shaughnessy.〔 This change did not last very long and the name was changed to ''Urocentron castor'' in 1885. There were only minor taxonomic changes after 1885 until a change to ''Uracentron flaviceps'' in 1925.〔 This name lasted until 1992 when Darrel R. Frost renamed the species ''Tropidurus flaviceps''. The name switched between ''Tropidurus flaviceps'' and ''Uracentron flaviceps'' until 2003, when the genus ''Tropidurus'' was split into several genera and the Tropical Thornytail Iguana was assigned to ''Uracentron''.〔〔http://junglephotos.com/amazon/amanimals/amreptiles/thorniguananathist.shtml, Thorntail Iguana Natural History〕
