Description of two new species similar to Anolis insignis (Squamata: Iguanidae) and resurrection of Anolis (Diaphoranolis) brooksi .

摘要

The spectacular giant anole lizard Anolis insignis is widely distributed but infrequently collectedoutside of northern Costa Rica. We recently collected several individuals similar to Anolis insignis fromlocalities in Panama and southern Costa Rica. These populations differ from type locality A. insignis in maledewlap color and morphology. We associate one set of these populations with Anolis (Diaphoranolis) brooksiBarbour from Darién, Panama, and describe two additional populations as new species.
