Abstract
We provide a replacement name, Anolis callainus sp. nov., for the Hispaniolan anole species formerly referred to as Anolis chlorocyanus Duméril & Bibron, 1837. This is necessary because the syntypes of Anolis chlorocyanus Duméril & Bibron, 1837 are conspecific with the only available syntype of Anolis coelestinus Cope, 1862. Thus, what was formerly known as A. coelestinus now must be referred to as A. chlorocyanus, and the A. chlorocyanus of former usage becomes A. callainus.
