The diet of Ctenotus xenopleura, a species found in spinifex grasslands in the southern Goldfields of Western Australia, consisted primarily of termites. The high proportion of termites was consistent over different sampling periods, and was higher than observed for most other Ctenotus species. It is not clear whether this high proportion of termites is the result of specialised foraging for termites by C. xenopleura.
