Abstract
Geographic variation in three species of the hendersoni complex anoles (A. hendersoni, A. bahorucoensis, A. dolichocephalus) indicates that in each case there are northern and southern slope subspecies, separated from each other by the interior high uplands of the montane massifs of the Hispaniolan Tiburon Peninsula and the Peninsula de Barahona. In addition, there is a third subspecies of A. dolichocephalus on the Presque'ile de Port-Salut in extreme southwestern Haiti. Differences between the subspecies are primarily ones of coloration and pattern. A discussion of the evolution of the different populations in each species is presented, and ecological data are incorporated in an effort to explain the divergence of the northern and southern subspecies in each case.
