Anolis hendersoni, also known commonly as Henderson's anole and the La Selle long-snouted anole, is a species of lizard in the family Dactyloidae. The species is native to the island of Hispaniola. There are two recognized subspecies.
The specific name, hendersoni, is in honor of American malacologist John Brooks Henderson Jr. [2]
A. hendersoni is found in southern Haiti, [1] [3] and in adjacent southwestern Dominican Republic. [1]
The preferred natural habitat of A. hendersoni is forest, at altitudes from sea level to 1,750 m (5,740 ft). [1]
Small for its genus, A. hendersoni may attain a snout-to-vent length (SVL) of almost 5 cm (almost 2 inches). [3]
A. hendersoni is oviparous. [3]
There are two subspecies that are recognized as being valid, including the nominotypical subspecies. [3]
