Excerpt from Breviora: 21 October 1987 21 September 1999 The recognition of a second species related to A. Apollinaris and of the alpha affinities of both species began when two large Anolis from Antioquia belonging to the collections of the Museo de Historia Natural at the Colegio San J os??? in Medellin (csj 111 and 168, now ign 5997 - 98) were turned over to me by Stephen Ayala for examination. The female, csi 111 from Yarumal, had a very evident large dewlap and bore a paper label in Niceforo Maria's handwriting: Anolis purpurescens. A caudal vertebra teased from its broken tail showed that it belonged to the alpha section of the genus, yet the scale counts routinely taken on Anolis specimens were disturbingly similar to those of A. Apollinaris. The latter, however, was not only believed to be a beta anole, but, in the Munich series I had studied in 1970, five of the six were females, and they had shown at most a vestigial gular fold and not a dewlap. The absence of transverse processes on the caudal vertebrae of the Yarumal female and in A. Apollinaris was verified by X-ray. The two specimens from Antioquia attributed to A. Apollinaris in 1970 were re-examined: mls 81, recatalogued as mls 926, a female, and amnh 38725, a male. Marco Antonio Serna pro vided three additional specimens from Urrao, Antioquia, all males, from the Colegio San J os??? collection.
