DiagnosisDiagnosis: Anolis hyacinthogularis differs from other species of Anolis (clade Dactyloa) from Ecuador and Peru, except Anolis dissimilis, Anolis festae and Anolis nigrolineatus, by possessing a long tail, small size (SVL < 60 mm), short dewlap extending to the level of the arms, smooth head scales and by lacking a rostral proboscis. It differs from A. festae and A. nigrolineatus in lacking a black ventral stripe on the dewlap in males (dewlap stripe present in these species). Anolis hyacinthogularis is distinguished from A. dissimilis by having sky blue dewlap skin with horizontal rows of whitish cream scales agglomerated at the base in males (white to cream dewlap in males of A. dissimilis); seven or eight supralabials from snout to below centre of eye (11 in A. dissimilis), and a shorter head.

Comment 
EtymologyThe specific epithet hyacinthogularis alludes to the blue dewlap of the male and derives from the Latin words hyacinthus (=blue), and gula (=throat).
