| Diagnosis | Diagnosis: A small to moderate-sized species (SVL in largest male 50.0 mm, largest female 54.0 mm) of the genus Anolis (sensu Poe 2004) that differs from all other Mexican and Central American congeners except A. dunni, A. gadovii, A. omiltemanus, and A. peucephilus by having (1) smooth ventral scales; (2) an oval patch of usually three greatly enlarged supraorbital scales; (3) a pair of greatly enlarged postcloacal scales in males. Anolis liogaster differs from A. dunni and A. gadovii by having 10–15 rows of dorsal scales moderately enlarged (vs. the middorsal scales not or only 2-4 rows slightly enlarged in A. dunni and A. gadovii). It further differs from A. dunni by having a uniform purple to pink male dewlap (vs. pinkish to orange red male dewlap with semicircular pale streaks and blotches in A. dunni). It also differs from A. gadovii by the absence of a bold reticulated body pattern (vs. such a pattern present in A. gadovii). Anolis liogaster differs from A. omiltemanus and A. peucephilus by having longer hind legs with the longest toe of adpressed hind leg reaching to a point between posterior and anterior margin of eye or occasionally to a point between ear opening and eye (vs. to level of ear opening or to a point between shoulder and ear opening in A. omiltemanus and A. peucephilus), usually only a single pair of greatly enlarged sublabial scales in contact with infralabial scales (vs. usually two pairs in A. omiltemanus and A. peucephilus), and a pink to purple male dewlap (vs. orange yellow in A. omiltemanus and A. peucephilus) (KÖHLER et al. 2014).
