The Anzuetoi arboreal alligator lizard (Abronia anzuetoi) is a species of lizard endemic to Volcán de Agua in Guatemala. Its extent of occurrence is approximately 24 km2, and thus is considered Vulnerable by the IUCN. It is found at elevations from 1,219–2,286 m on the mountain. This species is a diurnal tree-dwelling lizard, inhabiting cloud forests on Volcán de Agua. Dominant males exhibit territorial behaviour. Anthropogenic impact is minimized by the fact that its native habitat has many landmines, and surrounding coffee plantations have been abandoned.
