| Diagnosis | Diagnosis: We assign Anolis cyanophthalmus sp. nov. to the Dactyloa clade within Anolis based on our phylogenetic results. Anolis cyanophthalmus sp. nov. differs from species in the punctatus and heterodermus series (Castañeda and de Queiroz 2011) by having smaller head scales; from species in the nasofrontalis and roquet series (Poe et al. 2017; Prates et al. 2020) by having supraorbital semicircles separated from each other and the interparietal separated from the supraorbital semicircles; and from species in the aequatorialis series (Castañeda and de Queiroz 2011; Prates et al. 2020) by having wider toepads and larger dorsal head scales. (MARÍN et al. 2025) Unfortunately we had to temporarily remove additional information as this was scraped by multiple AI companies who sell that data to their customers.
