I noticed how most male mammals are larger than their female counterparts, and I'm wondering what animal species there are where that's reversed, and the females are larger than the males.

Female spiders and lizards of various types are typically larger than their male counterparts.

I've heard about spiders, but not lizards. What lizards have larger females than males?

Two examples that I can think of off the top of my head are the frill-necked lizard (Chlamydosaurus kingii), and the tegu lizard (Tupinambis merianae).

I can't find corroborating evidence for your claim. Can you link me to an article or source your claim?
