The title of smallest lizard is held by both the Sphaerodactylus parthenopion and Sphaerodactylus ariasae which have both been recorded as having an average snout – to – vent length of only 16 mm (0.6 in). They both share the distinction of being the smallest of the approximately 23,000 species of amniote vertebrates.
