Abstract

A new species ofAnolislizard from the Andean slopes of southwestern Colombia and northwestern Ecuador, from between 1187 and 2353 m in elevation, is described. The new species can be distinguished from otherAnolisin squamation, cranial osteology, hemipenial morphology, and nuclear and mitochondrial DNA. The new species is sister toAnolisaequatorialis, and it is suggested that previous records ofA.aequatorialisin Colombia correspond to the new species described herein.
