The Shuklaphanta sitana, Sitana schleichi, was described by Anders and Kastle in 2002 and is found in Nepal. It is one of three Sitana fan-throated lizards recorded in the country, with the dark sitana and the Siwalik sitana (Wikipedia, general species account).

Males of the genus carry a dewlap used in breeding-season signalling and are 37 to 47mm in snout-vent length; females, 36 to 52mm, lack it. They live on the ground and eat mainly insects but also molluscs and seeds. The source gives no detail specific to this species (Wikipedia, general species account).
