According to Köhler et al. 2010 it is now Anolis pentaprion. The author is quite a capacity in neotropical herps. http://s3.e-monsite.com/2011/01/03/638090222010-koehler-anolis-pentaprion-group-pdf.pdf

Thanks bayucca, I concur. I found that many sources use Norops instead of Anolis.

Tricky one, but I think it should be Anolis pentaprion. Please, verify! http://www.naturephoto-cz.com/anolis-pentaprion-photo_lat-7392.html
