"Pogona minor minima" is an agamid lizard found only on islands at Houtman Abrolhos, and commonly named for this location; the Abrohlos Bearded Dragon. It is closely related to other Bearded dragons found in Western Australia.

The size of the dragon is smaller that related subspecies, no more than 360 mm long (115 mm snout-vent length). It occurs in habitat that is sandy or outcrops of limestone. The range is restricted to three islands of the Wallabi Group: North Island, East Wallabi Island and West Wallabi Island. The distribution range of this subspecies is around 80 kilometres from the mainland and its near relations.cite book |last=Browne-Cooper |first= Robert|coauthors= Brian Bush, Brad Maryan, David Robinson |title= Reptiles and Frogs in the Bush: Southwestern Australia|year= 2007|month= |publisher= University of Western Australia Press|isbn= 9778 1 920694 74 6 |pages= |chapter= |chapterurl= |quote= ]
