| Etymology | Probably named after Alexandre Ricord (1798-1876), a French naval surgeon who qualified as a physician in Paris (1824), and became a Corresponding Member, Academie Nationale de Medecine, Paris (1838). A. r. leberi was named after David C. Leber who has prepared accurate and beautiful water color portraits from life of this and many other West Indian anoles. A. r. viculus was named after Latin viculus for "hamlet" or "small village" in allusion to Castillon, the type locality. A. r. subsolanus was named after the Latin word for "eastern," in allusion to the occurrence of this subspecies in southeastern Haiti. |
