(2025): A revision of the Anolis carolinensis subgroup supports three species in Cuba, including a new cryptic species (Squamata: Anolidae). Vertebrate Zoology 75: 107-126, DOI: 10.3897/vz.75.e152054
51E67F3EF745531F8DDFEC97C10B9677.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Anolis torresfundorai sp. nov. is diagnosable from all species of the A. carolinensis subgroup. Anolis torresfundorai sp. nov. was not unambiguously differentiated from A. porcatus in either of the uni- or multivariate analyses (Tables 1, 2; Figs 2, S 1 – S 12). Ultimately, A. torresfundorai sp. nov. was diagnosable from its cryptic relatives, Cuban A. porcatus and continental A. carolinensis, based on one categorical character, keelation of sublabial scales. These scales are heavily keeled in the former species and smooth in A. torresfundorai sp. nov. with occasional weak keelation that does not go beyond the 4 th scale (Fig. 1). Anolis torresfundorai sp. nov. differs from A. longiceps and A. maynardii in having a pink dewlap, yellow or pale yellow in the others. Anolis allisoni and A. brunneus have blue heads or torsos, green in A. torresfundorai sp. nov. Anolis smaragdinus has a more strongly keeled tail and is usually more homogeneous in coloration, with or without a faint mid-dorsal stripe or scapular spots. Additionally, only three members of the A. carolinensis subgroup occur in Cuba (A. allisoni, A. porcatus, and A. torresfundorai sp. nov.).	en	Torres, Javier, Reilly, Dexter, Nuñez-Penichet, Claudia, Reynolds, R.

51E67F3EF745531F8DDFEC97C10B9677.taxon	description	Description of holotype. Adult male, 62.8 mm snout-vent length, 19.7 mm head length, 11.5 head width, 4 postmental scales, 5 postrostral scales, 8 supralabial scales, 6 infralabial scales, 19 loreals, 3 loreal rows, 1 interorbital scale, 4 scales between the interorbital and interparietal scales, 42 lamellae in the 4 th toe, 11 temporals, and smooth jaw scales. The color in preservative is brown overall, with dark reticulations on the neck, and narrow stripes extending from the mental scales to the throat but interrupted around the first third by two clear round markings, dark coloration in the temporal area and even darker in the side of the neck, with isolated dark scales in the first half of the body in lateral view as well as in the lower jaw. A mid-dorsal cleared stripe runs along the body, extending from the back of the head to the base of the tail (Fig. 7).	en	Torres, Javier, Reilly, Dexter, Nuñez-Penichet, Claudia, Reynolds, R.
