Males on the spine in the front of the trunk have a developed crest of spines or elongated scales. Representatives of this genus are also distinguished by the size of these ridges. The tail is long, usually much longer than the body. The color is mainly green, olive, brownish or grayish in various shades. Throat bag in bright colors, especially in males.
