Lateral view of head of Anolis monticola qiiadrisartiis, type, MCZ 62998. Snout-vent length 43 mm. Color in life: The dorsal ground color of males is dull greenish yellow middorsally; the sides are brighter yellow-green to yellow- brown. The labials and the sides of the neck have an indistinct pastel blue to blue-green stripe. The saddles and the nuchal spots are black, and the ocelli in the nuchal spots are bright blue. The venter is faintly greenish yellow. The throat is blue to blue-green, becoming yellowish centrally. The dewlap is yellow to reddish orange (Pi. 1, center left). The limbs are greenish yellow with some brown suffusion and banding, and the tips of the digits, and palmar and plantar surfaces, are black. The nominate form is also known to assume a gray to brown ground color phase dorsally, with black markings and little or no bright dorsal color. The ground color of the sides below the middorsal zone may also be pale translucent green. The dark dorsal saddles continue diag- onally and posteriorly below the middorsal zone and are much.
