DistributionMexico (Sinaloa, Oaxaca, Chihuahua, Jalisco, México, Aguascalientes, Durango, Sonora, Morelos, Guanajuato, Nayarit, Guerrero)

Type locality: Mexico; restricted to Mazatlán, Sinaloa by SMITH & TAYLOR 1950.

schmidti: Mexico (Colima); Type locality: Manzanillo, Colima.  
Reproductionoviparous 
TypesHolotype: ZMB
Holotype: Chicago Nat. Hist. Mus. 1667 [schmidti] 
DiagnosisDiagnosis: A small species (SVL in largest male 43.0 mm, largest female 39.5 mm) of the genus Anolis (sensu Poe 2004) that differs from all Mexican and Central American anoles except A. carlliebi and A. sacamecatensis by having a combination of (1) weakly to strongly keeled ventral scales; (2) usually a patch of three greatly enlarged supraocular scales; (3) 8–18 rows of slightly enlarged dorsal scales that are smaller than ventral scales; (4) short hind legs, longest toe of adpressed hind leg usually reaching to ear opening, exceptionally to a point between ear opening and eye, ratio shank length/SVL 0.21–0.25; (5) a single elongate prenasal scale; and (6) male dewlap in life orange with or without a white anterior margin. Among the Anolis species treated in this contribution, A. nebulosus is most similar to A. microlepidotus from which it differs in male dewlap coloration (uniform orange or orange with a white anterior margin in A. nebulosus vs. dull orange yellow with paler semicircular streaks and blotches in A. microlepidotus) and larger dorsal scales (number of dorsal scales in one head length 26-38, mean 30.0, in A. nebulosus vs. 32–48, mean 41.2, in A. microlepidotus). (KÖHLER et al. 2014: 117)
