Ken Miyata photographed these anoles about 30 years ago. All we know is that they are from Colombia. Can anyone help?

    no, alas, that’s all we’ve got. We were going through old slides from ca. 30 years ago, and it is just labelled “Colombia.”

    “Sasaima” is also written on the slide – does that help?

    Yellow eyelids and Sasaima (Cundinamarca): I agree with Julián it seems A. apollinaris. In new or problematic Anolis from Colombia V, E. Williams includes a descriptions of A. apollinaris from Sasaima.
