| Diagnosis | Diagnosis: A medium-sized species (snout– vent length [SVL] in largest specimen 49.0 mm) of the genus Anolis (sensu Poe, 2004) that is most similar in external morphology to Anolis laeviventris, A. kreutzi and A. cusuco all of which also have short hind limbs (longest toe of adpressed hind limb reaching to tympanum), no distinctly enlarged middorsal scale rows, keeled ventrals at midbody, slightly enlarged postanal scales in males, and a white to pale yellow dewlap in males. Anolis datzorum differs from A. laeviventris, A. kreutzi and A. cusuco by having most head scales distinctly multicarinate (smooth, wrinkled or unicarinate in A. laeviventris, A. kreutzi and A. cusuco), by having a homogeneous flank scalation (usually a few enlarged, often whitish, scales scattered among smaller granular flank scales in A. laeviventris, A. kreutzi and A. cusuco), and by having an overall greenish coloration (grayish brown to yellowish brown in A. laeviventris, A. kreutzi and A. cusuco). |
