Resumen

MOTTE, Martha  y  CACCIALI, Pier. Descripción de un neotipo para Anolis meridionalis Boettger, 1885 (Sauria: Polychrotidae). Cuad. herpetol. [online]. 2009, vol.23, n.1, pp.19-24. ISSN 1852-5768.

Anolis is one of the largest genus of lizards with more than 380 species distributed in Central and South America, which often difficult their identification. Particularly Anolis meridionalis was described upon one specimen from Paraguay. This species is widely distributed in Brazil, Paraguay and Bolivia. Nevertheless, because the original description is poor in diagnostic characters and the holotype is currently lost, sometimes is difficult to know the identity of specimens of related species. For that reason in this work is designed and described a neotype for Anolis meridionalis with the hope that this helps to solve some taxonomic problems in the southernmost species of the genus.

Palabras clave : Taxonomy; Neotype; Anolis; South America.
