Grand Cayman Blue-fanned Anole

Anolis conspersus

Classification

Anolis conspersus, also known as the Cayman Islands blue-fanned anole, Grand Cayman blue-fanned anole or Grand Cayman anole, is a species of anole found on the Cayman Islands. Taxonomy Anolis conspersus was formally described in 1887 by the American herpetologist Samuel Garman based on an adult male specimen from the island of Grand Cayman in the Cayman Islands. Thomas Barbour, on a 1931 yacht trip, described a specimen of Anolis conspersus as Anolis utowanae, although he erroneously stated its type locality as Mazatlan in Mexico.
