Scales distal to the pad in A. chrysolepis. a) Shows the scales just distal to the pad. b) Is an oblique view of scales 1 and 2. Ridges (scale 1), small keels (, scale 8), or bare areas (, scale 2) are present on the series 1-9. dent from Fig. 13a). Toward the lateral and proximal portions of the scale the shape grades into a blunt prong and fi- nally a short spine with a recurved tip. The spinose regions of the scale exhibit contouring similar to that seen in annec- tens. c) The still more distal groups of scales (scales 1-9) grossly resemble scales 10 and 11 with the addition of small keels or keel- like bare areas (Figs. 12, 14). The fine structure of the keels and bare areas is similar to that of the keels on the lateral scales and the keels in annectens and onca. The scale surface adjacent to these regions is covered by spines with needle- like tips. The spines over most regions are /x tall, but on scales 8 and 7 they are as tall as /x and fx, re- spectively. COMPARISON WITH ANOLIS AURATUS A. auratus has 22 subdigital scales (Fig. 15). Their distribution relative to the phalanges is quite similar to that in.
