WHAT DOES ANOLE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

anole

Dactyloidae

The Dactyloidae are a family of lizards commonly known as anoles /əˈnoʊliːz/. NCBI places the anole in subfamily Polychrotinae of the family Iguanidae. The family is generally considered to be monotypic, containing only the genus Anolis; however recent genetic research has identified several clades within Anolis which may sometimes be elevated to generic status. These clades are: Dactyloa, Deiroptyx, Ctenonotus, Xiphosurus, Norops, Chamaelinorops, Anolis and Audantia. The taxon Polychrus was previously also placed in the family under the family name Polychrotidae; however recent genetic studies confirm that Polychrus is not a sister to Anolis and is in fact more closely related to Hoplocercidae. Therefore Polychrotidae has been restricted to containing only Polychrus. Due to their ability to change color, anolis lizards are frequently referred to as American chameleons. Also, because they can run up walls, they are sometimes confused with geckos.
