Mex. bound, surv. under Comm. Lt. Col. W.H. Emory :12, but the name was originally proposed as 
Anolius carolinensis Voigt 1832. Cuvier's Thierreich 2:71. Lbnnberg (1896. Linnean type- 
specimens of birds, reptiles, batrachians and fishes in the Zoological Museum of the R. University 
of Upsala. K. Svenska Vet.-Akad. Handl. 22[4]:1:1 -45) said that the specimen was in bad 
condition and although it resembles members of the Anolis carolinensis group, it is not A. 
carolinensis. Also, he believed that the name L. principalis was probably based on a composite of 
several species of Anolis. Savage and Guyer (1991. J. Herpetol. 25:365) believe that the status of 
the name would require reexamination of the type and that it is a potential threat to a currently 
recognized species as a senior synonym.
