Ctenophorus is a genus of lizards, also known as comb-bearing dragons, that contains the most diverse group of dragon lizards in Australia. Many of these have been grouped by a similar morphology. The informal names and groupings within this genus — rock, crevice-, ground, sand-, and bicycle-dragon — are named after the mythological creature, the dragon.

Nota bene: A binomial authority in parentheses indicates that the species was originally described in a genus other than Ctenophorus.
Polymorphism
This genus of lizards is known to display color polymorphism, when more than one color type is found within a population. It is believed that color polymorphism in this group has evolved as a result of a combination of sexual selection and natural selection.
