The Key tegu (Echinosaura keyi ) is a species of lizard in the family Gymnophthalmidae. The species is endemic to Ecuador.
Echinosaura keyi was formerly known as Teuchocercus keyi , and was the type species of the genus Teuchocercus, but the genus Teuchocercus is no longer recognized.
The specific name, keyi, is in honor of American physician and amateur herpetologist George Key (1942-1999).
The Key tegu is only found in Ecuador with records from Esmeraldas and Pichincha.
