Anolis dunni, also known commonly as Dunn's anole and abaniquillo de Dunn in Mexican Spanish, is a species of lizard in the family Dactyloidae. The species is native to southern Mexico. [2]
The specific name, dunni, is in honor of American herpetologist Emmett Reid Dunn. [3]
A. dunni is found in the Mexican states of Guerrero [1] [2] and Michoacán. [1]
The preferred natural habitat of A. dunni is dry forest in the Pacific coastal foothills, at altitudes below 1,200 m (3,900 ft). [1]
The species A. dunni is moderate-sized for its genus. Females may attain a snout-to-vent length (SVL) of 5 cm (2.0 in). Males are larger, up to 5.85 cm (2.30 in). The dewlap of males is bright reddish orange, with small whitish dash-shaped markings. [2]
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.
Anolis is a genus of anoles, iguanian lizards in the family Dactyloidae, native to the Americas. With more than 425 species, it represents the world's most species-rich amniote tetrapod genus, although many of these have been proposed to be moved to other genera, in which case only about 45 Anolis species remain. Previously, it was classified under the family Polychrotidae that contained all the anoles, as well as Polychrus, but recent studies place it in the Dactyloidae.
