Pedioplanis rubens, called commonly the Waterberg sand lizard,[3] reddish sand lizard, and (misleadingly[4]) Ruben's sand lizard, is a species of lizard in the family Lacertidae. The species is endemic to Namibia.[1][2]
The specific name, rubens, which means "tinged with red" in Latin, is not in honor of any person named Ruben,[4] but rather refers to the brick red color of the tail.[2]
P. rubens is found atop the northern portion of the Waterberg Plateau in Namibia.[3]
The natural habitat of P. rubens is mopane savanna with red sandstone.[3]
P. rubens may attain a snout-to-vent length (SVL) of 5 cm (2.0 in). The tail is long, slightly more than twice SVL. Dorsally, the head and body are brown, and the tail is bright brick red. Ventrally, it is lighter-colored.[3]
