Abstract
SAVAGE, Jay M. and GUYER, Craig. A new species of anole lizard, genus Norops (Squamata: Polychrotidae), from the Cordillera de Talamanca, Costa Rica. Rev. biol. trop [online]. 1998, vol.46, n.3, pp.805-809. ISSN 0034-7744.
A new species of anole lizard of the Norops fuscoauratus group is described from the southern Cordillera de Talamanca of Costa Rica. It differs from allied species from Costa Rica (Norops altae) and southwestern Panama (Norops exsul, N. fortunensis and N. kemptoni) primarily by having the male dewlap extending to the level of the axilla and being pink with a orange anterior margin. It also has longer legs than N. fortunensis and N. kemptoni and differs from the latter, N. altae and N. exsul in having 2-4 slightly enlarged middorsal scale rows. The new form is known only from Cerro Pando on the border between Costa Rica and Panama.
