Anolis fuscoauratus

Anolis fuscoauratus, commonly known as the slender anole, slender Amazon anole, or brown-eared anole, is a species of anole endemic to northern South America.

Described as a new species in 1837, in 2009 it was discovered in the Atlantic rainforest of Brazil.

The specific name, fuscoauratus, comes from the Latin roots fuscus (combining form, fusco-) meaning "dark" and auratus meaning "golden". The name is attributed to the lizard's morphologic characteristics in that its color is dark gold.
