Anolis chlorocyanus, the Tiburon green anole, is a species of anole endemic to Haiti, primarily the Tiburon Peninsula. [2]
It was formerly thought to have a much wider range across Hispaniola including the Dominican Republic, and to have been introduced to Florida and Suriname, but a 2020 study found the syntypes of A. chlorocyanus to be conspecific with the syntype of the former Anolis coelestinus, a Haitian endemic anole. Thus, both species were synonymized, and the widespread Hispaniolan population was described as a new species, the Dominican green anole (A. callainus). Due to this, A. chlorocyanus was restricted to only the population from Haiti. [3]
Dactyloidae are a family of lizards commonly known as anoles and native to warmer parts of the Americas, ranging from southeastern United States to Paraguay. Instead of treating it as a family, some authorities prefer to treat it as a subfamily, Dactyloidae, of the family Iguanidae. In the past they were included in the family Polychrotidae together with Polychrus, but the latter genus is not closely related to the true anoles.
The Hispaniolan crossbill is a crossbill that is endemic to the island of Hispaniola, and the only representative of the Loxia genus in the Caribbean.
The Hispaniolan solenodon, is a solenodon endemic to the Caribbean island of Hispaniola. It was first described by Johann Friedrich von Brandt in 1833. A similar but smaller species, Marcano's solenodon (S. marcanoi), once lived on the island, but became extinct after European colonization. Along with the often sympatric Hispaniolan hutia, it is one of two extant native land mammals on Hispaniola.
The Hispaniolan amazon or Hispaniolan parrot, colloquially known as cuca, is a species of Amazon parrot in the family Psittacidae. It is endemic to Hispaniola, and has been introduced to Puerto Rico. The main features that differentiate it from other amazons are the white forehead, pale beak, white eye-ring, blue ear patch, and red belly.
The Hispaniolan trogon is a species of bird in the family Trogonidae. It is endemic to Hispaniola in the Caribbean. It is one of the only two trogon species found in the Caribbean. It is the national bird of Haiti.

Anolis distichus, the bark anole, North Caribbean bark anole, or Hispaniolan gracile anole, is a species of anole lizard native to Hispaniola and the Bahamas, and introduced to Florida, where it was first recorded in 1946. It spends most its time on tree trunks. There are several subspecies and it is highly variable in color. Its body ranges from gray-brown to green, and the dewlap is cream-white, over yellow and orange to red. In Florida, most are gray-brown with a cream-white dewlap, but more greenish individuals with a yellow-edged red dewlap also occur. It is a fairly small anole, reaching up to 12.7 cm (5.0 in) in length.
Anolis cybotes, the large-headed anole, Tiburon stout anole, or Hispaniolan stout anole, is a species of anole endemic to the Tiburon Peninsula of Haiti. Reports from other places likely refer to other species that were formerly included in Anolis cybotes. This species gets its name from the male's strangely large head. It is often brownish in color with lighter stripes on the flanks.
