Anolis
Anolis, or anoles, is a genus of iguanian (anole) lizards belonging to the family Dactyloidae. With 391 species, Anolis represents the world's most species-rich amniote tetrapod genus. Previously, it was classified under the invalid Polychrotidae family that contained all the anoles including Polychrus, but recent studies place it under Dactyloidae.
