The two remaining undescribed species appear to be closest to A. dissimilis, but the species geographically more remote is more similar than that which is spatially intermediate. The latter is clearly the primitive member of the series and, coming from the upper Rio Apaporis, is within the Amazonian faunal prov- ince but in one of the remoter peripheral parts of that region.

The latter is clearly the primitive member of the series and, coming from the upper Rio Apaporis, is within the Amazonian faunal prov- ince but in one of the remoter peripheral parts of that region. I name it after the Department of Colombia from which it comes. Anolis caquetae new species Holotype: MCZ 131176, an adult male. Type locality: Camp Soratama, Upper Apaporis, Caqueta, Colombia. Diagnosis. Close to A. dissimilis but without the tail crest characteristic of that species and with a different coloration. Description. Head: Most head scales smooth, some on the anterior snout unicarinate. Scales in frontal depression distinctly smaller than surrounding scales. Ten flat scales across snout between the second canthals. Eight swollen scales bordering rostral posteriorly. Nasal scale anterior to canthal ridge with one lower and one anterior scale separating it from rostral (see Fig. 5). Seven swollen scales between supranasals. Snout some- what swollen, protuberant, overhanging lower lip. Supraorbital semicircles separated from each other by a single row of small scales, in contact with the supraocular disks, which consist of 24-28 enlarged smooth scales grading into granules.
