About the Common Stout Anole
Anolis hispaniolae, the common stout anole, is a species of lizard in the family Dactyloidae. Males grow to 67 mm (2.6 in) and females to 56 mm (2.2 in) in snout–vent length. Males have cream-white dewlaps with a yellow, green, or orange hue and irregular, medium-sized gorgetals. They also have dark stripes on the throat. It is endemic to Hispaniola, where it is widespread, being found across most of the island north of the Baoruco Mountain Range, with the exception of the far northwest. The anole lives in a variety of habitats, from humid cloud forests to dry forests, at elevations of up to 1,800 m (5,900 ft).
Anolis hispaniolae was formally described in 2019 as Audantia hispaniolae based on a specimen from El Limón in the Samaná Peninsula of the Dominican Republic. The species is named after the island of Hispaniola, to which it is native, due to its widespread range on the island. It has the common name common stout anole.
Specimens of Anolis hispaniolae were historically considered to represent Anolis cybotes, but A. hispaniolae is in actuality most closely related to A. doris. The extremely large genus Anolis is sometimes split into several smaller genera; under... Wikipedia →
