Lacerta bullarls. Savage and Guyer (1991. J. Herpetol. 25:365) indicated that Stimson and 
Underwood(1983. Bull. Zool. Nomencl. 40:17-19) said that the name was based on the colored 
figure (pi. 66) and description of Lacerta viridis jamaicensis in Catesby's (1743. The Natural 
History of Carolina, Florida, and the Bahama Islands, v. 2.) pre-Linnean work and thus considered 
this name to be a senior synonym of Anolis garmani Stejneger 1899(Amer. Natur. 33:601). 
Savage and Guyer noted that no one had adopted that proposal and because A. bullaris had not 
been used as a valid name for any species in this century the Jamaican species should be 
properly called Norops garmani (Stejneger) (= Anolis garmani).

Savage and Guyer (1991. J. Herpetol. 25:365) reviewed the nomenclatural history and indicated 
that Linnaeus's name, L. strumosa, had priority but that because it had not been used for 175 
years and because of current Code rules the name would be suppressed

Lacerta angvlna. [Chamaesaura]anguina. Schneider 1801. Hist. Amph. 2:210. South Africa. 
Schneider actually used the trivial name anguinea and subsequent authors used anguina., 
sometimes crediting Schneider with that usage. The 12th ed. of Systema Naturae also used L. 
angvina, but the 13th Gmelin edition used L. anguina. In this situation I believe that the "v" 
represents a "u" because angvina has no meaning whereas anguina is derived from anguis (from 
the Latin meaning a snake and indeed this species is snakelike in appearance).C.D.Sherborn 
(1899. An index to the generic and trivial names of animals described by Linnaeus in the 10th and 
12th editions of his Systema Naturae. Manchester Museum Handbooks, pub. 25. Dulau & Co., 
London and J.E. Cornish, Manchester) listed under Lacerta, angvina, but under trivial names 
showed anguineus. Compare this name usage to the comments on Lacerta igvana (p. 206). The 
Principle of Priority in the Code would require use of Chamaesaura angvina, but because angvina 
has not been used for over 50 years it should be suppressed under articles 23b and 79c of the 
Code.
