Abstract

We document four species of Anolis from the main campus of Universidad Autónoma de Santo Domingo: Anolis distichus (Cope, 1891), A. cybotes (Cope, 1862), A. porcatus Gray, 1840 and A. sagrei Duméril & Bibron, 1837. Anolis distichus was the most abundant species, with 176 individuals, followed by A. cybotes with 26, A. porcatus with 13, and A. sagrei with 2 individuals. We include details on the distribution and some ecological aspects of these species.
