Another New Species of Lizard of the Norops schiedei Group (Sauria: Polychrotidae) from Northern Honduras

A new species of anole of the Norops schiedei group is described from a cloud forest locality in northern Honduras. The new species is closely related to N. purpurgularis and N. johnmeyeri of Honduras, as well as to other members of the group from Mexico and Guatemala as recognized in a recent review of this group. Its combination of relatively large middorsal scales, unicarinate scales on the forelegs, enlarged postanals in males, well-developed parietal depression, and rose-colored dewlap with a central purplish spot readily distinguishes it from the remaining species in the schiedei group.
