Echinosaura sulcarostrum is a lizard of the family Gymnophthalmidae.[1] It is endemic to Guyana.[2] It is found in leaf litter on the floor of high-canopy rainforest.
Echinosaura sulcarostrum has been found in northwestern Guyana at low elevation. Because of its secretive habitat, it is likely to be found elsewhere.
