| Diagnosis | Diagnosis: A medium-sized species (snout–vent length [SVL] in largest specimen 47.0 mm) of the genus Anolis (sensu Poe, 2004) that is most similar in external morphology to a cluster of Central American species that are short-legged (longest toe of adpressed hindlimb reaches only to tympanum), have a single elongated prenasal scale, smooth ventral scales, and slender habitus, often delicate (i.e., Anolis altae, A. carpenteri, A. exsul, A. fortunensis, A. fuscoauratus, A. kemptoni). Anolis gruuo differs from the species in this cluster by the following characteristics (condition for A. gruuo in parentheses): Anolis altae: 134–154, mean 141.0, scales around midbody (116–132, mean 126.0), ratio tail length / SVL 1.80–2.22, mean 2.01 (1.70–1.76, mean 1.73); tail not conspicuously contrastingly dark and pale banded (contrasting banding present); no dewlap in females (a small orange dewlap in females). Anolis carpenteri: tail not conspicuously contrastingly dark and pale banded (contrasting banding present); dorsal coloration with a greenish cast in life (no greenish cast in life); no dewlap in females (a small orange dewlap in females). Anolis exsul: hemipenis unilobate (bilobate); male dewlap orange at base with cherry red margin (male dewlap orange); a small white dewlap in females (a small orange dewlap in females); no enlarged postanal scales in males (distinctly enlarged). Anolis fortunensis: hemipenis unilobate (bilobate); male dewlap yellowish orange at base with orange red margin (male dewlap orange). Anolis fuscoauratus: male dewlap pinkishbrown to red (orange); no dewlap in females (a small orange dewlap in females); no enlarged postanal scales in males (distinctly enlarged). Anolis kemptoni: hemipenis unilobate (bilobate); dewlap in females white (orange); male dewlap bicolored: posterior portion rose pink, anterior portion orange (male dewlap orange). |
