| Diagnosis | Diagnosis: Anolis insignis, A. brooksi, A. savagei, and A. kathy- dayae are the only Central American Anolis to combine large size (> 120.0 mm SVL), smooth scales on the upper thigh, and short limbs (Savage and Talbot 1978). Anolis kathydayae is distinguished from these species by male dewlap color pattern (white with light green or dull blue tint in male A. kathydayae; orange-red in male A. insig- nis; pale pink with dark streaks in A. savagei; peach-tan in A. brooksi; Figs. 1, 2). It is further distinguished from A. savagei and A. brooksi by female dewlap color pattern (solid white with greenish tint in A. kathydayae; white or brown with dark streaks in A. brooksi; pale pink with dark streaks in A. savagei; unknown in A. insignis). At least in our samples, A. kathydayae is further distinguished from A. insignis by several scale characters (Table 1; e.g., fewer postmentals, 4‒5 versus 6‒9 in A. insignis). Additionally, the two male A. kathydayae we have examined display obscure, weakly enlarged post- cloacal scales, whereas all male individuals of the other insignis-like anoles we have examined display large, dis- tinct postcloacal scales. |
