We describe a new species of Anolis from the highlands of western Panama. The new form is phenetically similar to lemurinus-group Anolis, especially to Anolis pachypus and Anolis tropidolepis. It differs from these two species in possessing fewer loreal scale rows, larger middorsal scales, and a solid red dewlap. We present a phylogenetic analysis of the new species and find that it nests within mainland Beta anoles as sister species to A. tropidolepis.
