Anqingosaurus brevicephalus is an extinct lizard from the early Middle Paleocene of Anhui, China.^[1] A. brevicephalus was originally described as a chameleon, but, not all authorities agree with this.^[2] If A. brevicephalus is a chameleon, then Chamaeleonidae fossil record extends all the way into the Paleocene.^{[citation needed]} If it is not, then Chamaeleonidae fossil record starts in the Early Miocene with Chamaeleo caroliquarti.^{[citation needed]}
