Distribution and habitat. Anolis auratus occurs in southern Central America, in Panama and Nicaragua, and in northern South America, in Brazil, French Guiana, Suriname, Guyana, Venezuela, and Colombia (Fig. 1). In Brazil, it is known from the states of Amapá, Pará, Amazonas, and Roraima. Anolis auratus is predominantly terrestrial and diurnal. In Brazilian Amazonia it inhabits areas of open vegetation along the Amazon River, and natural and perianthropic enclaves of open vegetation in the states of Amapá and Roraima, where it is found on the ground, on grasses, low vegetation, shrubs, and on small trees (Cunha 1981a; Vitt & Carvalho 1995; Mesquita et al. 2006a).
