Phrynocephalus horvathi is a small diurnal desert lizard in the family Agamidae. It is endemic to the valley of the Aras River and considered Critically Endangered.
The phylogeny within the genus Phrynocephalus is not well understood and has been the subject of recent revisions. Following Melnikov et al. (2008),[2] the IUCN considers P. horvathi and P. persicus different species rather than subspecies of P. persicus (for details see Phrynocephalus persicus). This usage has been followed here, contrary to the Reptile Database.[3]
