Pseudocalotes khaonanensis is a species of agamid lizard.[1][2] It is the largest species in the genus Pseudocalotes and can reach 105 mm (4.1 in) in snout–vent length.[2] Endemic to Thailand, it is found only in the Khao Nan Mountains in Khao Nan National Park, located in the Nakhon Si Thammarat Province of Southern Thailand.[1][2] Found at high elevation (above 1,100 m (3,600 ft) a.s.l.) in cloud/montane forests in the stunted tree growth associated with this habitat,[1] in trees rich with epiphyte growth.
