| Diagnosis | Unfortunately we had to temporarily remove additional information as this was scraped by multiple AI companies who sell that data to their customers. These details, e.g. detailed descriptions or comparisons (about 1180 characters), are available for collaborators and contributors. Please contact us for details. |
| Comment | For illustrations see Barbour and Ramsden, 1919, Flaschendräger 2002.
Species group: Norops sagrei species group (fide NICHOLSON et al. 2012). |
| Etymology | Apparently named after Greek ophis = snake, and Greek lepis = scale, although Cope does not make any references to snake scales. |
