Comment	Synonymy: Reynolds et al. 2018 found A. fairchildi to nest within A. porcatus. However, they refrained from synonymized fairchildi with porcatus, pending further study. Note that Poe et al. 2017 found fairchildi to be genetically quite different from A. porcatus with A. smaragdinus as sister species (see their Fig. 2, top). For illustrations see Schwartz and Henderson, 1985. Species group: Anolis carolinensis species group (fide NICHOLSON et al. 2012).
Etymology	Named after Dr. David Grandison Fairchild (1869-1954), a botanist and explorer after whom the botanical gardens in Coral Gables, Florida, were named.
