Anolis bremeri, also known commonly as the Cuban variegated anole and the Herradura anole, is a species of lizard in the family Dactyloidae. The species is endemic to Cuba. Two subspecies are recognized. [2]
The specific name, bremeri, is in honor of John Lewis Bremer (1874–1959), who was an American physician and anatomy professor. [3]
A. bremeri is moderate-sized for its genus. Males are larger than females. Males may attain a snout-to-vent length (SVL) of 7.2 cm (2.8 in), but females do not exceed 5.2 cm (2.0 in) SVL. [2]
A. bremeri is oviparous. [1] [2]
Two subspecies are recognized as being valid, including the nominotypical subspecies. [2]
