DistributionLesser Antilles: Guadeloupe, Ile Desecheo Saintes, La Desirade,
French Guiana (introduced)

marmoratus: Guadeloupe: plain of Capesterre in southeastern Basse-Terre; intergrades with A. m. alliaceus, A. m. girafus, and A. m. speciosus.

alliaceus: central highlands in the Basse-Terre portion of Guadeloupe; intergrades with A. m. girafus, A. m. setosus, and A. m. speciosus.

caryae: Terre-de-Bas, Îles des Saintes; intergrades with A. m. terraealtae; introduced at Cayenne, Guiane Française.

girafus: leeward coast of Basse-Terre portion of Guadeloupe, from vicinity of Malendure and adjacent Ilets de Pigeon, south to Ballif; intergrades with A. m. setosus.

inornatus: northern Grande-Terre; Ilet Macou; intergrades with A. m. speciosus.

setosus northern coast of Basse-Terre portion of Guadeloupe from vicinity of Deshaies to Ste.-Rose; intergrades with A. m. speciosus.

speciosus: southwestern portion of Grande-Terre portion of Guadeloupe, onto isthmus connecting Grande-Terre and Basse-Terre; Ilet du Cochons, Ilet du Gosier, Ilet Christophe. Introduced to French Guiana (HOOGMOED, pers. comm.).

Type locality: Martinique (in error); revised to Capesterre on the Basse-Terreportion of Guadeloupe by Lazell, 1964.

CommentSubspecies: Anolis marmoratus ferreus, terraealtae, chrysops, desiradei, and kahouannensis are now considered a valid species.

Species group: Ctenonotus bimaculatus species group (fide NICHOLSON et al. 2012).

Hybridization: Male A. marmoratus and female A. ferreus can interbreed and produce offspring (Weidlich 2023, Anole Annals) 
EtymologyNamed after Latin marmoratus, a, um, from the participle of marmoro, ‘covered with marble, marbled’, in reference to the marbling on the head and neck.

A. m. alliaceus was named after Latin allium or alium, ‘garlic’and the suffix -aceus, a, um, ‘which resembles to, which has the nature of’. Cope (1864) did not explain his choice (Fretey 2023).

A. m. caryae was named after Margaret M. Cary who sponsored the first trip of Lazell to the Caribbean (Fretey 2023).

A. m. girafus has no known etymology and may be an arbitrary combination of letters. Lazell (1964: 337) indicates that “The name girafus has been invented
to indicate the reticulate pattern” (Fretey 2023).

A. m. inornatus was named after Latin inornatus, a, um, = ‘unadorned (Fretey 2023).

A. m. setosus was named after Latin setosus (or saetosus), a, um, ‘bristly, covered with hair’ (Fretey 2023).

A. m. speciosus was named after Latin speciosus, a, um, = ‘of beautiful appearance’ (Fretey 2023).
