It is referred to (1) the aequatorialis series based on its moderate size and narrow toe lamellae, and (2) the eulaemus sub-group based on having a typical Anolis digit, in which the distal lamellae of phalanx III distinctly overlap the proximal subdigital scales of phalanx II. The new species is most similar morphologically to A. otongae and A. gemmosus, both from similar elevations on the western Andean slopes of Ecuador, but differs from these species in morphology and color patterns. We present a phylogeny based on DNA sequence data as additional evidence supporting delimitation of the new species. The new species and A. gemmosus are sister taxa within the “western Dactyloa clade.” Key words.

(Squamata: Iguania) from the Central Andes of Colombia
HERPETOLOGICAL JOURNAL 20: 231–236, 2010 A new species of Anolis of the aequatorialis group (Squamata: Iguania) from the central Andes of Colombia Julián Andrés Velasco1, Paul David A. Gutiérrez-Cárdenas2 & Andrés Quintero-Angel1 1Grupo de Ecología Animal, Departamento de Biología, Universidad del Valle, Cali, Colombia 2Grupo Herpetológico de Antioquia (sede Caldas), Departamento de Ciencias Biológicas, Universidad de Caldas, Manizales, Colombia We describe a new species of the Anolis aequatorialis group from the central Andes of Colombia. The new species, Anolis anoriensis, is similar to A. eulaemus Boulenger, which occurs in both the western and central Andes, and was positioned in the eulaemus subgroup of the aequatorialis group. Anolis anoriensis differs from A. eulaemus in having smaller interparietal scales and a green body coloration with a darker anterior part of the dewlap. We also for the first time describe the coloration of Anolis eulaemus, which is almost exclusively brown with a diffused light brown dewlap.

I Online Supplementary Data – Henle, K. & A. Grimm-Seyfarth (2020
Online Supplementary data – Henle, K. & A. Grimm-Seyfarth (2020): Exceptional numbers of occurrences of bifurcated, double, triple, and quintuple tails in an Australian lizard community, with a review of supernumerary tails in natural populations of reptiles. – Salamandra, 56: 373–391 Supplementary document S1. Database on bifurcation, duplication and multiplication of tails in natural populations of reptiles. We considered only data that were provided at least at the genus level and that explicitly originated from natural populations or for which this was likely, as either the authors indicated for other specimens that they were captive animals, or because museum series were examined (even if data were provided only for the specimens with accessory tails). We relaxed these criteria for pre-1900 publications and included also individuals without determination and data that were not explicitly stated as applying to wild individuals if such an origin was plausible. We extracted the following data (if available): species name, number of individuals with accessory tails, number of individuals with bifurcation, duplication, trifurcation, quadruplication, quintuplication and hexaplication, sample size, geographic origin (usually country but may also be oceanic islands), microhabitat, and the year of publication. Nomenclature follows Cogger (2014) for Australian reptiles and Uetz et al. (2019) for other species regarding generic names, name changes due to priorities and synonymies, and for subspecies identified in the source reference that have been elevated later to full species rank. Name changes due to splitting of taxa into several species were made only if allocation of the data to the new species was obvious from morphological or geographic information provided by the assessed source reference or was already done by other authors. -
Reptiles of Ecuador: a Resource-Rich Online Portal, with Dynamic

Reptiles of Ecuador: a resource-rich online portal, with dynamic checklists and photographic guides 1Omar Torres-Carvajal, 2Gustavo Pazmiño-Otamendi, and 3David Salazar-Valenzuela 1,2Museo de Zoología, Escuela de Ciencias Biológicas, Pontifcia Universidad Católica del Ecuador, Avenida 12 de Octubre y Roca, Apartado 17- 01-2184, Quito, ECUADOR 3Centro de Investigación de la Biodiversidad y Cambio Climático (BioCamb) e Ingeniería en Biodiversidad y Recursos Genéticos, Facultad de Ciencias de Medio Ambiente, Universidad Tecnológica Indoamérica, Machala y Sabanilla EC170301, Quito, ECUADOR Abstract.—With 477 species of non-avian reptiles within an area of 283,561 km2, Ecuador has the highest density of reptile species richness among megadiverse countries in the world. This richness is represented by 35 species of turtles, fve crocodilians, and 437 squamates including three amphisbaenians, 197 lizards, and 237 snakes. Of these, 45 species are endemic to the Galápagos Islands and 111 are mainland endemics. The high rate of species descriptions during recent decades, along with frequent taxonomic changes, has prevented printed checklists and books from maintaining a reasonably updated record of the species of reptiles from Ecuador. Here we present Reptiles del Ecuador (http://bioweb.bio/faunaweb/reptiliaweb), a free, resource-rich online portal with updated information on Ecuadorian reptiles. This interactive portal includes encyclopedic information on all species, multimedia presentations, distribution maps, habitat suitability models, and dynamic PDF guides. We also include an updated checklist with information on distribution, endemism, and conservation status, as well as a photographic guide to the reptiles from Ecuador. -

Reprinted with permission from Williams (1979; Breviora 449:1-19). Illustration by Laszlo Meszoly. ii In Memory of A. Stanley Rand (1932-2005) Stan Rand (left) with his former graduate advisor, Ernest Williams (right) at Soroa, Cuba in 1983. iii Preface On the first weekend of October in 2009, 125 anole biologists traveled from eight countries to Harvard University’s Museum of Comparative Zoology to attend the 6th Anolis Symposium. It had been 10 years since the previous symposium, and a reunion was long past due. In 2008, as we began to consider how to proceed with such an endeavor, a fortunate thing happened: the Herpetology Department at the MCZ renovated its library and teaching space – the famous lair of the late pater anolis, Ernest Williams. The library needed a namesake, and Ernest was under strong consideration (after all, he had been instrumental in filling its shelves!). After a brief period of friendly deliberation, it was decided that the library would be dedicated to Williams, and that the occasion would be the commencement of the 6th Anolis Symposium, held at the Museum of Comparative Zoology. Anole biology has changed considerably in the last decade, and it’s been for the better! First and foremost, the field has grown explosively. -
