Indiagama is an extinct genus of agamid lizard known from the type species Indiagama gujarata from the early Eocene of India. Indiagama was named in 2013 on the basis of a single lower jaw from the Cambay Formation in Gujarat. The rectangular shape of its teeth distinguish it from all other agamids, living and extinct.[1]
