"Leiocephalus greenwayi", commonly known as the East Plana Cay Curly-tailed Lizard, is a lizard species from the family of Curly-tailed lizards ("Leiocephalidae"). This Curly-tailed lizard is endemic to the Bahama islands and has an extremely restricted range as it is only found on the Eastern island of the Plana Cays. [Schwartz, A and R. W. Henderson. 1991. Amphibians and Reptiles of the West Indies. Descriptions, distributions and natural history. "University of Florida Press". Gainsville, US.]

This curly tailed lizard is not listed by the IUCN or CITES as needing any special conservation, however, research is needed to determine its vulnerability due to its restricted range.
