| Distribution | Guatemala (Alta Verapaz), elevation 1000–1830 m
Type locality: Three km south of Finca Samac, Alta Verapaz, 6 km [straight line] due west of Cobán), Guatemala, 1350 m.

| Reproduction | oviparous |
| Types | Holotype: UMMZ 90232 |
| Diagnosis | Diagnosis: An anole very close to A. schiedii Wiegmann. It has small, keeled dorsal scutes, feebly keeled ventrals, carinate head scutes, and the males lack enlarged postanals. From schiedii it is readily distinguished by its small ventrals and its carinate, rather than rugose, head scales, and, possibly, by its keeled ventral scales. (Stuart 1942) |
