Abstract
We report new localities for Anolis pseudokemptoni Köhler, Ponce, Sunyer & Batista, 2007, along the Serranía de Tabasará in the Comarca Ngöbe-Buglé of western Panama. These records extend the known geographic distribution of this lizard about 6 km eastward and 9 km northwestward, as well as the known vertical distribution approximately 470 m lower and 380 m higher. We also provide photos of specimens from different localities and comment on their morphology. No population of this Panamanian microendemic species, which is classifiable as Critically Endangered, lives inside a protected area.
Highlights
All specimens were encountered during opportunistic searches performed primarily at night, captured by hand, and preserved the day after capture

During recent field work in the highlands of western Panama, we collected 20 additional specimens of A. pseudokemptoni from several localities east and west of the type locality, which considerably improve our knowledge of the distribution and morphological variation of this little-known species
Summary
All specimens were encountered during opportunistic searches performed primarily at night, captured by hand, and preserved the day after capture.
