Abronia zongolica is a species of lizard in the family Anguidae. The species is endemic to Mexico.[2] It is known from mature pine-oak forests at elevations of 1,500–2,200 m (4,900–7,200 ft) above sea level in the eponymous Sierra de Zongolica, Veracruz.[1]

Adult males measure 96–112 mm (3.8–4.4 in) and adult females (based on a single specimen) 87 mm (3.4 in) in snout–vent length. The tail is up to 1.5 times the snout–vent length.[1]
