Anolis paravertebralis Bernal-Carlo and Roze, 2005 and A. umbrivagus Bernal-Carlo and Roze, 2005 are Junior Synonyms of A. solitarius Ruthven, 1916 (Squamata: Dactyloidae)

Abstract

Abstract. The Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta of northern Colombia is home to several endemic species. Here we show that the names of two purported endemic lizard species, Anolis umbrivagus and A. paravertebralis, are junior synonyms of Santa Marta endemic A. solitarius. We present morphological evidence for this inference and photographs of A. solitarius in life.
