Chromatogenys is an extinct genus of Scincomorph lizard from the Santonian of Hungary, containing the species C. tiliquoides. It is known from the Csehbánya Formation with the remains consisting of a partial right mandible, the name coming from the vibrant colours on the preserved specimen. The dentition is durophagous, and the animal likely ate hard shelled prey.{{cite journal|last1=Makádi|first1=László|last2=Nydam|first2=Randall L.|title=A new durophagous scincomorphan lizard genus from the Late Cretaceous Iharkút locality (Hungary, Bakony Mts)|journal=Paläontologische Zeitschrift|volume=89|issue=4|year=2014|pages=925–941|issn=0031-0220|doi=10.1007/s12542-014-0253-1|s2cid=53542825|url=http://real.mtak.hu/29990/1/MakadiNydam_A_new_durophagous_scincomorphan_Paleontologishce_Zeitschrift_2014_u.pdf}}
