Diagnosis 
CommentSpecies groups: Dactyloa punctata species group (fide NICHOLSON et al. 2012). Prates et al. 2019 proposed the “Anolis/Dactyloa nasofrontalis series” as a new clade name for the largest crown clade that includes A. nasofrontalis and excludes A. aequatorialis Werner, 1894, A. latifrons Berthold, 1846, A. heterodermus Duméril, 1851, A. punctatus, and A. roquet (Bonnaterre, 1789). See Fig. 3 for the phylogeny in Prates et al. 2019. Composition. A. nasofrontalis, A. neglectus, A. pseudotigrinus, A. dissimilis, A. neblininus, A. lososi, A. williamsmittermeierorum, Anolis sp. “R” (Poe et al., 2015), A. hyacinthogularis, A. calimae, A. carlostoddi (Williams, Pradero, Gorzula, 1996), and A. bellipeniculus (Myers and Donnelly, 1996). This clade has previously been called the neblininus species series (Prates et al., 2017) based on the neblininus group of Williams, Praderio, Gorzula (1996).
