DistributionJamaica

lineatopus: roughly the southern third of Jamaica, from St. Elizabeth Parish east to St. Thomas Parish. Populations intermediate between 2, 3, or 4 of the subspecies that occur in eastern Jamaica, west and southwest of Buff Bay. Elsewhere, subspecies appear to interdigitate extensively or overlap; the relationships between the subspecies need to be clarified. Type locality: unknown.

ahenobarbus: extreme eastern Jamaica.

coxi: Jamaica; Type-locality: Portland Point (= Portland Ridge), Clarendon Parish, Jamaica

lynni: Jamaica; Type-locality: Chestervale, St. Andrew Parish, Jamaica.

merope: the northern marginal region of Jamaica; Cabarita I. off Port Maria.

neckeri: along east-west axis of Jamaica, from Hanover and Westmoreland parishes east into St. Catherine Parish; delineation of the ranges of the subspecies is tentative.  
Reproductionoviparous 
TypesHolotype: BMNH 1936.12.3.92 = 1946.8.12.61

CommentFor illustrations see Underwood and Williams, 1959; von Brockhusen, 1976; Schwartz and Henderson, 1985.

Synonymy: neckeri is not listed by NICHOLSON et al. 2012, 2018 It may be a synonym.

Subspecies: neckeri and appear to interdigitate extensively or even overlap (merope and neckeri in Hanover and Westmoreland parishes). Specimens from southern parts of St. James and Trelawny parishes and from parts of Westmoreland Par., presently assigned to neckeri, differ somewhat from typical neckeri in pattern and dewlap color (SCHWARTZ & HENDERSON 1988).

Hybridization: Jenssen 1977 provided evidence that A. grahami and A. lineatopus neckeri hybridize.

Species group: Norops valencienni species group (fide NICHOLSON et al. 2012).
