Enyalioides feiruzae is a species of wood lizard in the genus Enyalioides, from the Peruvian Yungas. [1][2]

Male members of the species are distinguished for their colourful "kaleidoscope" scales, while females generally possess green to brown scales. The species was named after a female pet green iguana, Feiruz, by Catherine Thomson, a Michigan resident who financially supports biodiversity and conservation research.[2]
