Synonyms: Anolis coelestinus; Deiroptyx coelestina

Wikipedia Abstract

The Hispaniolan green anole (Anolis chlorocyanus ) is a species of anole endemic to the island of Hispaniola. It is very similar to the North American species, the green anole (Anolis carolinensis), but males have a light blue throat flap, instead of red. Females and juveniles may have darker green stripes lining the sides of their bodies, but males are often a pure bright green color. This species was introduced into the Florida Everglades and is considered invasive.
