| Diagnosis | DIAGNOSIS. An anole very closely related to Anolis crassulus Cope, from which it is readily distinguished by its smaller dorsal scales. (Stuart 1942) DESCRIPTION OF HOLOTYPE. Dorsal head scales irregular in size and shape, knobby in appearance, rugose or carinate. Supraorbital semicircles distinct, composed of scales which are broader than long; in contact medially. Three large and several somewhat smaller supraoculars, separated from the supraorbital semicircles and superciliaries by granular scales. Parietal distinct, slightly larger than ear openings, not in contact with supraorbital semicircles. Canthus sharp; five rows of loreal scales; six supralabials to below the center of the eye. About eleven rows of keeled, imbricate dorsal scales, those along the middorsal line largest; imbricate dorsals grading gradually into the granular, juxtaposed laterals which are much smaller than the dorsals. About fifty-seven dorsal scales between the levels of the axilla and groin. Ventral scales strongly keeled, much larger than the dorsals, numbering about thirty-five between the groin and axillary levels. Tail slightly compressed, and covered with sharply keeled, subequal scales. Male with enlarged postanal scutes. Dewlap large, extending posteriorly well beyond the level of the axilla. (Stuart 1942) Coloration: Ground color of dorsal surfaces brown. The posterior part of the head is mottled with black, and there is a black mid-dorsal stripe the lateral extent of which is irregular. Later ally, the snout is light brown, and the head behind the eye is mottled dark brown and black. The sides are very dark brown. A very fine dark streak extends from the tympanum posteriorly above the arn and on the sides. The legs are mottled with light and dark shades of brown above. The ventral surfaces are brownish white, the chin and throat heavily smudged with black. The tail is light brown with occasional dark spots. The dewlap is very pale red (bright red orange in life). (Stuart 1942) VARIATION. In the paratypic series no great variation is noted. The irregularity of the head scales produces many minor variations. Of these, the most frequent is the separation of the supraorbital semicircles by a single scale. The dorsal scutellation varies 41-57 (mean 48) in the males and 45-59 (mean 53) in the females, and the ventral scutes vary 31-35 (mean 33) in the males and 32-36 (mean 34) in the females. The dorsal head scales are more flattened in the females. The color of the paratypic series is largely like that of the holotype. In two females, however, the dark dorsal stripe is replaced by a very light dorsal stripe which extends from the nape onto the tail. (Stuart 1942) |
