Anolis bartschi, also known commonly as the Pinar Del Rio cliff anole, western cliff anole, and the west Cuban anole, is a species of lizard in the familyDactyloidae. The species is endemic to Cuba.
Description
A medium-sized anole, adult males of A. bartschi have a typical snout-to-vent length of 7.5 cm (3.0 in) and females 6.4 cm (2.5 in).[3] It is one of only two anoles that completely lack a dewlap (both sexes), the other being the Cuban stream anole (A. vermiculatus).[4][5]
A. bartschi is oviparous.[1][2] It is among the relatively few anole species in which females may lay their eggs together, forming a communal nest in cavities in a steep cliff.[8]
