DistributionCuba

Type locality: Bueycito, near Bayamo (Sierra Maestra), Granma Province, Cuba.  
Reproductionoviparous

DiagnosisAdditional details, e.g. a detailed description or comparisons (1116 characters), are available for collaborators and contributors. Please contact us for details. 
CommentIllustrations: Ruibal, 1961; Ruibal and Williams, 1961; Schwartz, 1968, Flaschendräger 2002.

Species group: Norops sagrei species group (fide NICHOLSON et al. 2012). 
EtymologyUnclear. Probably named after the Greek allos (other) or alloios (of another kind, different).  “The discovery later of Hallowell's type made it clear that the name should be applied to a totally different species.” (BARBOUR & RAMSDEN 1919: 160)
