Large agamid lizards typically inhabit tall trees, and are thus effectively out of the reach of most field collectors. Consequently, several arboreal agamids have been described from relatively well-collected areas in recent years (e.g., Hallermann and Böhme, 2000; Hallermann and McGuire, 2001; Inger and Stuebing, 1994). Additionally, a number of species, long known from the original type series, have been recollected after a hiatus of decades (e.g., Ota and Hikida, 1996; Inger and Lakim, 1998; Das and Das, 2007). In this paper, we report on a specimen of Complicitus nigrigularis (Ota & Hikida, 1991), which represents the second known individual of the species
