Ctenosaura pectinata, the Mexican spinytail iguana, is an herbivorous lizard which reaches a maximum size of 750 mm.
Ctenosaura is not uncommon in museum collections, and its cranium is relatively large and not highly specialized.
Ctenosaura is a member of Iguania (see also Phrynosoma), one of the two major squamate clades (the other being Scleroglossa, including Varanus and Shinisaurus).
