Anadia ocellata, commonly known as the ocellated anadia , is a species of lizard endemic to the Americas. [3]
A. ocellata is a small and slender lizard. Its body is cylindrical with a long tail that is very sensitive and quickly subject to autotomy when in danger or when manipulated inadequately. [3]
A. ocellata is distributed from Costa Rica to Ecuador. [3]
A. ocellata is rather unusual for a lizard in that it has frequently been found in, or close to, bromeliads. Thus its habits are considered arboreal, which would account for its scarceness. [3]
