Gonocephalus bornensis, the Borneo anglehead lizard or Borneo forest dragon, is an agamid lizard endemic to Borneo in Indonesia and Malaysia, and known from Sabah, Kinabalu, Brunei, Sarawak and Kalimantan.
The earless monitor lizard was described in 1878 by Franz Steindachner. [6] The genus name Lanthanotus means "hidden ear" and the species name borneensis refers to its home island of Borneo. [7] The uniqueness of the species was immediately recognized and Steindachner placed it in its own family, Lanthanotidae.

Lizard is the common name used for all squamate reptiles other than snakes (and to a lesser extent amphisbaenians), encompassing over 7,000 species, [1] ranging across all continents except Antarctica, as well as most oceanic island chains.
The generic name Varanus is derived from the Arabic waral (ورل), which translates as "monitor". The specific name is the Latin word for "saviour", denoting a possible religious connotation. [2] The water monitor is occasionally confused with the crocodile monitor (V. salvadorii) because of their similar scientific names. [3]
