The specific name, simonyi, is in honor of Viennese naturalist Oskar Simonyi (1852–1915), who also described El Hierro giant lizard in the same region.[1]

Geographic range

C. simonyi is found only on the islands of Fuerteventura and Lanzarote in the Canary Islands.[2]

Habitat

The natural habitats of C. simonyi are temperate shrubland, Mediterranean-type shrubby vegetation, temperate grassland, rocky areas, pastureland, and urban areas.[2]
