Lapitiguana impensa is an extinct giant (1.5 m long) iguanid from Fiji.[1] It likely became extinct following the human colonization of Fiji 3000 years ago.[1]
All extant Fijian iguanas are in the genus Brachylophus, together with an extinct species from Tonga. The closest living relatives of the Polynesian iguanas are found in the Americas.[2][3] Its name is derived from the archeological Lapita culture.
