Anolis eugenegrahami, commonly known as Eugene's anole or the black stream anole, is a species of lizard in the family Dactyloidae. The species is endemic to northern Haiti.[3]

Etymology

The specific name, eugenegrahami, is in honor of herpetologist Eugene D. Graham Jr., who was one of the collectors of the holotype.[4]

Geographic range

A. eugenegrahami is endemic to the Département du Nord in northern Haiti where it is only found 9 kilometres (5.6 mi) northeast of Plaisance.[3]

Habitat

The preferred natural habitat of A. eugenegrahami is stream margins in gallery forest.[1]

Description and behavior

This species, A. eugenegrahami, is of moderate size, with extremely long limbs.[5] Males can reach up to 72 mm (2.8 in) in snout-to-vent length and females up to 61 mm (2.4 in). Males and females are both very dark. The dewlap (male only) ranges from very dark gray to black, with the edge being lighter.[3]

It is one of two semi-aquatic anoles from the Caribbean, the other being A. vermiculatus of Cuba.[5]
