Varanus marathonensis, the Samos dragon, is an extinct species of monitor lizard from the middle to late Miocene of Greece and Spain, known from several specimens. A specimen consisting of a partial skull and several vertebrae was named Varanus amnhophilis in 2012 and placed in its own subgenus, Varaneades, but a 2018 study found it to be a junior synonym of Varanus marathonensis. Comparisons with other species of monitor lizards put its size between 60 and 80 cm (2.0 and 2.6 ft) in length. The fossil was found in the Turolian-age on the island of Samos and is currently housed in the American Museum of Natural History.

- Varanus marathonensis, comunemente noto il drago di Samos, è una specie estinta di varano vissuto nel Miocene medio-superiore della Grecia e della Spagna, nota da diversi esemplari. Un esemplare costituito da un cranio parziale e diverse vertebre è stato nominato Varanus amnhophilis, nel 2012, e collocato nel proprio sottogenere, Varaneades, ma uno studio del 2018 ha rilevato che quest'ultimo non è altro che è un sinonimo junior di Varanus marathonensis. Stimando le sue dimensioni con quelle dei varani moderni, gli studiosi hanno estrapolato una lunghezza di 60-80 centimetri. Il fossile è stato trovato nella Formazione Mytilini di età turoliana sull'isola di Samos ed è attualmente ospitato nella collezione dell'American Museum of Natural History. (it)
