DistributionSE Mexico (Chiapas, around El Suspiro), elevation 1700-220 m

TypesHolotype: INHS (= UIMNH) 38045, M. Alvarez del Toro; July 8, 1955. Paratype: AMNH 66957 
DiagnosisDiagnosis: “Presumably a member of the heteropholidotus group of Anolis, having smooth ventrals and small scales in the supraorbital semicircles, smaller than scales in the two rows between semicircles. Distinguished from all other described species in Mexico by the combination of characters described,and from more southern species by absence of enlarged postanals and regularityof size of body scales.” (Alvarez del Toro 1956)
