Stenocercus erythrogaster is a lizard from the Tropiduridae family. It lives in the mountainous regions of Peru and is distinguished by a bright red belly in males.
Stenocercus erythrogaster differs from related species by the bright red belly of males. It is important for nature because it regulates insect populations and serves as food for predators in mountain ecosystems.
Immature form that undergoes metamorphosis before adulthood.
