| Diagnosis | Comparisons (traits of taxa compared to Anolis nasofrontalis in parentheses): A. nasofrontalis can be distinguished from A. fuscoauratus, A. ortonii, and A. punctatus by 95–104 scales around mid-body (A. fuscoauratus: 124–157; A. ortonii: 123–180; A. punctatus: 132–167), smooth dorsals (weakly keeled), and smooth snout scales between nostrils (keeled). Anolis nasofrontalis further differs from A. fuscoauratus and A. punctatus by a lichenous dorsal body coloration (A. fuscoauratus: brown or gray; A. punctatus: green, often with white spots), supraorbital semicircles in contact (separated by granular scales) and well-developed dewlap in females (vestigial). Anolis nasofrontalis can be distinguished from A. pseudotigrinus by about five to seven rows of gorgetal-sternal dewlap scales (12–14), 78–89 dorsals (87–98) and 66–73 ventrals (79–90) between axilla and groin, 95–104 scales around mid-body (106–118), and a small light orange dewlap in females (large white dewlap). Anolis nasofrontalis can be further distinguished from A. pseudotigrinus and A. punctatus by a blunt snout (pointed). (Prates et al. 2017). |
| Comment | Species groups: Dactyloa punctata species group (fide NICHOLSON et al. 2012). Prates et al. 2019 proposed the “Anolis/Dactyloa nasofrontalis series” as a new clade name for the largest crown clade that includes A. nasofrontalis and excludes A. aequatorialis Werner, 1894, A. latifrons Berthold, 1846, A. heterodermus Duméril, 1851, A. punctatus, and A. roquet (Bonnaterre, 1789). See Fig. 3 for the phylogeny in Prates et al. 2019. Composition. A. nasofrontalis, A. neglectus, A. pseudotigrinus, A. dissimilis, A. neblininus, A. lososi, A. williamsmittermeierorum, Anolis sp. “R” (Poe et al., 2015), A. hyacinthogularis, A. calimae, A. carlostoddi (Williams, Pradero, Gorzula, 1996), and A. bellipeniculus (Myers and Donnelly, 1996). This clade has previously been called the neblininus species series (Prates et al., 2017) based on the neblininus group of Williams, Praderio, Gorzula (1996). |
