CommentSpecies groups: Dactyloa punctata species group (fide NICHOLSON et al. 2012). Prates et al. 2019 redefined the aequatorialis series as follows: The largest crown clade that includes Anolis aequatorialis and excludes Anolis heterodermus, Anolis latifrons, A. nasofrontalis, A. punctatus, and Anolis roquet.

History: After its description, A. aequatorialis remained unreported until Peters (1967) and Fitch et al. (1976) published information on its distribution and natural history.
