    Ferdy, I followed the eol by using Norops, but apparently that is still kinda controversial. Should I switch it to Anolis? Posted 7 years ago

      We normally follow ITIS so Norops looks correct to me. Norops does not replace Anolis, right? It's just that this species was moved from one genus to the other, whilst both genuses continue to exist? Posted 7 years ago

        Huh, sorry, I was tired, and part of what I was trying to say got left out. Several species currently listed on JD under Anolis (Specifically polylepis, biporcatus, and tropidogaster) are put under Norops by ITIS. So do you want to change the genus for those as well? Posted 7 years ago

          No worries, respond whenever you have time!

          If it's several species, we should move them one by one. If the entire Anolis genus is obsolete, we can move them all.           Posted 7 years ago

            It's just the 3 that I mentioned above. But only you can change scientific names, right? Posted 7 years ago
