Perijá lizard

  • Perijá · Place name · Serranía de Perijá, the mountain range on the Colombia–Venezuela border
  • sauros · Greek · lizard

The name appears to combine the Serranía de Perijá, a mountain range on the Colombia–Venezuela border, with the Greek "sauros" (lizard). I'm not certain of the details of the original naming, so only the name's likely roots are given.

Found in
Possibly the Perijá region of northern Colombia or Venezuela (unverified)
