''Plica'' is a genus of tropidurid lizards from South America and the Caribbean. They are arboreal, medium-sized lizards.〔 For a long time, this genus was considered to include four species: two relatively widespread ones (''Plica plica'' and ''Plica umbra'') and two tepuis-associated species with narrow distributions (''Plica lumaria'' and ''Plica pansticta''). However, recent research has shown that ''Plica plica'' is a cryptic species complex, and four new species were described in 2013. The species count will likely raise further as there are still several undescribed species. ==Species== The currently recognized species are the following: * ''Plica lumaria'' * ''Plica pansticta'' * ''Plica plica'' * ''Plica umbra'' Formerly included in ''Plica plica'':〔 * ''Plica caribeana'' * ''Plica kathleenae'' * ''Plica medemi'' * ''Plica rayi'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Plica (lizard)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
