description: FAMILY DACTYLOIDAE Fitzinger 1843, 16
(2 genera, 40 species, 19 endemic species, 1 introduced species). McCranie & Köhler (2015) monographed 39 species of anoles occurring in Honduras. McCranie & Köhler were not aware of the publication reporting Norops wermuthi from Honduras until it was too late to add comments of substance to their work (July 2013, the note reporting N. wermuthi from Honduras carries the date June 2013). Fitzinger proposed this family name as Dactyloae. Wagler (1830, 149) had previously used that name and spelling, but apparently not with the intention to create a family.
Anolis Daudin 1802, 50 (1 species)
Anolis allisoni Barbour 1928, 58
Norops Wagler 1830, 149 (39 species, 19 endemic species, 1 introduced species) Norops amplisquamosus (E) McCranie, Wilson & Williams 1992, 209 Norops beckeri (Boulenger 1882, 921)
Norops bicaorum (E) Köhler 1996b, 21
Norops biporcatus (Wiegmann 1834, 47)
Norops capito (Peters 1863, 142)
Norops carpenteri (Echelle, Echelle & Fitch 1971, 355)
Norops crassulus (Cope 1865, 173). More than one species is likely represented among N. crassulus in Honduras (McCranie & Köhler 2015).
Norops cupreus (Hallowell 1861, 481)
Norops cusuco (E) McCranie, Köhler & Wilson 2000, 214
Norops heteropholidotus (Mertens 1952, 89)
Norops johnmeyeri (E) (Wilson & McCranie 1982, 133)
Norops kreutzi (E) McCranie, Köhler & Wilson 2000, 218
Norops laeviventris (Wiegmann 1834, 47)
Norops lemurinus (Cope 1861, 213)
Norops limifrons (Cope 1862, 178)
Norops loveridgei (E) (K. Schmidt 1936, 47)
Norops morazani (E) (Townsend & Wilson 2009, 63)
Norops muralla (E) Köhler, McCranie & Wilson 1999, 285
Norops nelsoni (E) (Barbour 1914, 287). McCranie (2011a) considered this a full species and not a subspecies (but without documentation) of N. sagrei (Cocteau in A.M.C. Duméril & Bibron 1837 [p. 149]). Powell & Henderson (2012) also listed this Honduran endemic as a full species. Solís et al. (2014), without comment, continued to list this species as N. sagrei. McCranie & Köhler (2015) treated N. nelsoni as a full species. In addition, significant color differences in male dewlap and female head pattern occur between the Big and Little Swan Island populations (pers. observ.). The significance of those color patterns remains unknown.
Norops ocelloscapularis (E) Köhler, McCranie & Wilson 2001, 248
Norops oxylophus (Cope 1875, 123). Solís et al. (2014), without comment listed this species as N. lionotus (Cope 1861 [p. 210]). McCranie (2009) had listed this species as N. oxylophus. Norops lionotus occurs in Panama to the south of N. oxylophus (see comments in McCranie & Köhler 2015).
Norops petersii (Bocourt 1873, 79 in A.H.A. Duméril et al. 1870–1909)
Norops pijolense (E) McCranie, Wilson & Williams 1993, 393. Several authors have used the unjustified emendation N. pijolensis, including McCranie (2009) and Solís et al. (2014). McCranie & Köhler (2015) briefly discussed that point.
Norops purpurgularis (E) McCranie, Cruz & Holm 1993, 386
Norops quaggulus (Cope 1885, 391)
Norops roatanensis (E) Köhler & McCranie 2001, 240
Norops rodriguezii (Bocourt 1873, 62 in A.H.A. Duméril et al. 1870–1909)
Norops rubribarbaris (E) Köhler, McCranie & Wilson 1999, 280
Norops sagrei (I) (Cocteau 1837, 149 in A.M.C. Duméril & Bibron, 1837). Solís et al. (2014) failed to credit Cocteau with the name N. sagrei, although that fact has been well documented in the recent literature (i.e. Nicholson et al. 2012). Systematic studies combining genetic and morphological data of the N. sagrei complex populations in Central America, including Caribbean island populations, are needed.
Norops sminthus (E) (Dunn & Emlen 1932, 26)
Norops tropidonotus (Peters 1863, 135)
Norops uniformis (Cope 1885, 392)
Norops unilobatus (Köhler & Vesely 2010, 217)
Norops utilensis (E) Köhler 1996a, 24
Norops wampuensis (E) McCranie & Köhler 2001, 228
Norops wellbornae (Ahl 1939, 246)
Norops wermuthi Köhler & Obermeier 1998, 129
Norops yoroensis (E) McCranie, Nicholson & Köhler 2002, 466
Norops zeus (E) Köhler & McCranie 2001, 236. Townsend et al. (2012) said genetic data indicates this is a complex of more than one species.
