| Comment | Anolis montanus GARRIDO is preoccupied by Anolis oculatus montanus LAZELL 1962.
Species group: Anolis alutaceus species group (fide NICHOLSON et al. 2012). |
| Etymology | The name rejectus refers to the fact that Ruibal (1964: 509) suggested that this Oriente specimen was erroneously identified as A. spectrum. |
