Plica is a genus of tropidurid lizards from South America and the Caribbean. They are arboreal, medium-sized lizards.For a long time, this genus was considered to include four species: two relatively widespread ones (Plica plica and Plica umbra) and two tepuis-associated species with narrow distributions (Plica lumaria and Plica pansticta). However, recent research has shown that Plica plica is a cryptic species complex, and four new species were described in 2013.
