Norops is synonymous and usually regionally accepted. Anolis is still accepted, and correct.

I agree with Jake21 except it is now Norops sagrei.
Jake21
This is definitely anolis sagrei.

Yes, many images show it without these crests. :-)
Wildifreq
Ah thank you. I had looked at other pictures of that same species and they looked different.
